LAST WEEK’S RESULTS:

Title: “How Sweet It Is!
Prompt: This week’s contest answer is a candy bar.
Answer: TAKE 5 found by 390 solvers, 342 of which were solo solves

Who wants candy? Each of our four grid-spanning theme entries did their part last week:

17-A: [Come close to lying] = STRETCH THE TRUTH
26-A: [Its airport is named for Sen. Ted Stevens] = ANCHORAGE, ALASKA
47-A: [Five-line funnies] = KNOCK-KNOCK-JOKES
61-A: [“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year” speaker] = EBENEZER SCROOGE

A quick peek at Gridmaster J’s diagram below will verify that each of these four entries contains a certain letter of the alphabet five times. They are T, A, K, and E, leading to the has-way-too-much-going-on Reese’s TAKE 5, found by 390 solvers.

Not just “a” candy bar… it’s the best candy bar. Thanks!
