I was having a super terrible morning and then solved this puzzle on the train to work. Bravo to the constructors! Just such a joy.
Loved every second of this puzzle; came here to see what the deal was with mess with Texas after I’d solved. I love, love, love Thursdays with honestly novel themes!
Loved the two novel mathematical clues, and the callout to Smith College!
Loved the cluing and the fill, but way too easy for a Friday!
Lively and fun for a Tuesday, loved the cluing!
Loved it! The hidden (sort of) spans, all natural phrases! And I didn’t even pick up on the sports subtheme—I was too happy about PLOSIVES and DORSET aligning with my particular set of knowledge…
As someone who started doing these puzzles on paper in the mid-80s and has teenage kids now myself—I feel like I’m at peak solving range. Not too far in the future I’ll start slipping on modern references (already a bit of an issue at Puzzmo) I’m sure… but Leo Rosten and Sanrio were both honestly in my personal trivia hoard…
