Few extol the virtues of Stan Newman's Sunday Newsday puzzle, but it's a good workmanlike puzzle that is a relatively easy solve.
Most of the time.
There was one answer in today's puzzle (by Shirley Soloway) - in four letters, "Phnom ___."
PENH, right?
WRONG... the answer they were looking for was PNOM.
Ever hear of Phnom Pnom? I tried Googling it (with quotes) and got only 21 hits, most of them nonsense search peeks.
Please strike that word from your databases, kids.
I'm going to guess the clue was supposed to be " ____ Penh". Pnom is a common enough variant of Phnom, I suppose.
