Here you get SRO answered all clues with dates, Grid, and Author info. If SRO will be used in a new NYT Crossword, that will be updated here.
Can anyone please explain the connection between the letters SRO and how it relates to or pleases angels??? I don’t understand that one at all.
The connection between the letters SRO and angels, likely revolves around the idea that angels, metaphorically or playfully, “love” or “wish for” a full house.
“SRO” stands for “Standing Room Only,” indicating a venue or performance is completely filled.
Angels, in this case, could be whimsically associated with the concept of a packed and successful event, as suggested by the various clues related to full houses, success, and box-office hits.
