If you’ve got a guess at the answer, leave it in the comments. I’ll give you a few days before I post the answer.
Thanks to Wren’s Nest Theme Song singer-songwriter Jamie for the tip. You can thank him too by picking up a new Cold Weather Pocket Field Guide from the Duck and Herring Company. Our very own Program Director Amelia is published in this one, so you know it’s funny.

This is pretty much impossible without having use of the other rows and columns. I will go with “RabbitParty” it’s more of an invitation than a warning.
Kirk, good point. Amelia has also indicated that this clue is “very difficult.” She has also described herself as “confused by” and “not very good at” crossword puzzles.
Same here.
So anyway, the answer to the clue is
BRIERBEWARE.
I can see why that would’ve been super-tough.
The good folks at the New York Times have done it again, hilarity on so many levels. Where you do they come up with this stuff?
I am not confused by crossword puzzles.
I am, however, confused by the prospect of figuring out part of a puzzle without the puzzle being present, thankyouverymuch.
That said, I am still terrible at them.
