PUZZLE LINKS: iPuz Download | Online Solver

Marx Brothers puzzle #3 features language guy Ben Zimmer, and without giving too much away, this theme is right up his alley. We had a lot of fun working on this and we think you’ll like it too! Oh, and if you don’t understand the theme, maybe give this article (in which Ben is cited, of course) a read (slight spoilers at link)

Thanks go out to Jeremy Horwitz for testing this for us! Jeremy has made a lot of great puzzles, including  this old AVCX of his that I really enjoyed. Check it out when you’re done with this one?

Enjoy the solve!
