In the grid, there are two bold spaces for \u201cred\u201d and \u201cgreen\u201d lights. Let\u2019s start with 18-Across: Happens. That\u2019s it. The answer is COME[RED]ASS<\/strong>. On the other hand, Section 45-Across contains another set of red light. The question is: Result of missing the boat whose answer equals LO[RED]PORTUNITY<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I sat at the 18-Across and 45-Across red lights for a full minute before realizing I did not need a green light to keep typing.

The same strategy applies to green and go: Xingreenut will be Xing o<\/strong>ut. It is smart, isn\u2019t it?
