Puzzazz (Puzzle No. 3,275)

Apologies for the late posting: your host was a little preoccupied today.

Well, I've installed and used Puzzazz for a week.  Done a The Nation cryptic, done some other cryptics, straight crosswords, and miscellaneous puzzles, and purchased a book of puzzles for it.  My review will follow soon.

This week's The Nation puzzle

Hozom's comment:  A New Frontier in Artificial Intelligence in which we meet Dr. Fill (groan),  who finished the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament ranked in the top 100, but couldn't go out for a beer with his fellow solvers: not because he was underage, but because he's a computer program.  Hot and Trazom would love for someone to start teaching Dr. Fill how to solve cryptics.

Degree of difficulty (by standards of this weekly puzzle): easy
