Published One-Letter Schrödinger Clues

All I could find, anyway!

The following list contains every published clue and answer pair with one letter’s difference from Schrödinger crossword puzzles, as described last week. So it doesn’t include answers like BOB DOLE ELECTED/CLINTON ELECTED…I’m focusing here on the small changes. This list excludes my own work as well as other puzzles I couldn’t track down, but it represents my best efforts in the time I have available!

There were more of these to gather up than I expected (268 in all), so I’ll leave most discussion for tomorrow (and push some other Schrödinger-related material to Monday). Four entries here are marked with [x2] to indicate that I found the same exact clue in two different puzzles. The entries are sorted by answer length, then clue length. Check ‘em out!
