TENFOLD -- so ten letter answers are folded into two 5-letter halves. For example, British dessert similar to a cannoli is a BRANDY SNAP -- imagine taking the back half of that phrase (YSNAP) and folding it underneath the front half, you end up with BRAND on top of PANSY!

The clue you need for that one is 59A, but the real key to the puzzle is at 25D

Solve the puzzle that made wordplay columnist Sam Corbin say-

"How much wordplay can one person take? A lot, in this puzzle’s estimation."

In 2022 I launched Anigrams, and in 2024 Order Up. Building/running my own daily puzzles has been one of the great creative joys of my life.

As of today, both games are now paused. I can't say more yet, but stay tuned for an exciting update. Excited to share what's next :)

I set it up so both directions are valid every day! When you make your first guess the game checks which direction has more correct answers and gives out greens based on that direction.

when you're done solving today's Order Up, you should really go look up the other word for "Long Hundred" because it will absolutely make your day
