"TWENTY DOWN EIGHTEEN ACROSS"

Tuesday’s tough but
Wednesday’s worse
Every day brings tougher challenges
Never a dull moment when you’re
Torturing yourself to find
Yet another word that fits

“Deoxy___________ Acid”
“Obama’s Attorney General”
“Westworld network”
“Navigator’s tool”

Every hint and clue
Is artfully or agonizingly articulated
Gamifying vocabulary growth that
Hitherto was a chore to learn
Take up your pen or pencil
Embark on a black and white brain teaser
Each finished word brings you
Nearer to victory

“Atomic number 6”
“Cougar genus”
“Ray-Ban competitor”
“Othello’s originator”
“Style over _________”
“Start’s opposite”
