How the puzzle’s longer entries read
Three answers are phrases rather than single words: TEA URN, CAT TREE and AT A RISK. Forbes contributor Paul Tassi singled out “At a Risk” as the puzzle’s multiword entry and also commented on the knee-jerk, Reese Witherspoon and MATINEE clues. Those are his impressions, not an independently measured difficulty rating.
