Tsar. At least once a week. About a year ago I ran across this clue: "A place to hit the links" Links. Sausage links. Not loving golf. The answer was IHOP. I hate it.

loving "Erne". And the clue is always "Sea eagle". It's like a bonus square in Bingo. I however have moved on to cryptics and the puzzle in the back of Harpers'  Edit: In ink.

oleo is a butter substitute; olio is a mixture or melange. the crossword puzzle where I live has repeats as well: alar (having wings) erose (ridged, like a leaf) oona (charlie chaplin's wife) ana (a kind of cuckoo bird) ama (a mideastern nurse) ern (a variation of erne) and plenty of directional answers The editor also likes to use clues that are extremely obscure words, and have half-finished latin phrases that I've never heard of.

"Ugli" - Apparently this is some kind of fruit, but I'm convinced the only specimen in the world grows in some crossword editor's dungeon
