This is asking for trouble; I’m sure of it. In recent days a large number of people have found this site by way of a Google search on the words “sondheim like that”, mostly from the Washington, D.C. area.
Someone please tell me what this means. Should I also be Googling this phrase?
Actually, the full clue is (in the NYT puzzle, anyway): Bernstein/Sondheim’s “__ Like That”. And right now, if you type in just “Sondheim” and let Google suggest the rest of the search, it completes it to “Sondheim like that”. =)
I can only imagine it’s “A Boy Like That” from West Side Story. Tricky clue, since most people would associate that with Bernstein more than Sondheim. I like it, though!
Crossword puzzle clue in today’s Washington Post Magazine is: Sondheim’s “___ Like That” (33 Down–4 letters). Goggle gives this site in the first 3 listings. Maybe you want to post the answer?
