I hate complaining about puzzles (I really do), but UHURA, crossing with ARARAT, crossing with TARDIS on a Monday is absolutely insane.
1 hr and 8 mins slower than my usual solve time. My kind of Saturday puzzle 😆
You ate, Kareem. Take a bow. 10/10
35 mins slower than my average is the kind of pain I want to feel when doing a Saturday puzzle. Easily one of the most satisfying puzzles of the year. Amirite?
In my best Xzibit voice: "Yo dawg, I heard you like crossword puzzles, so we put a mini crossword in your Sunday crossword that you can only solve once the outer crossword is complete"
Really clever theme. So clever that I didn't get it until I finished the puzzle. Very well done!
Clap for yourself, Owen. What a fantastic debut!
It's been a while since a Friday puzzle has forced me to work a little bit. Appreciate you for that, Fritz. Fantastic clueing!
30 minutes added to my solve time because I didn't know the difference between an ENEMA and an EDEMA 🥴🥴
I cannot explain the amount of joy I had looking back at the clues after I figured out the theme. What a banger.
Replacing "DASH" with "----" and watching everything suddenly click felt like an outerbody experience.
Hi @Steve L, I think it's important to remember that the world does not revolve around you and your experiences. Based on your response, you seem like an older gentleman who had an opportunity to dive into Biblical scripture. If that's the case, it would make sense why these answers were "gimmes" for you. I've watched Star Trek a handful of times (with the last time being 25 years ago) and the only character I know off the top of my head is Capt. Picard; I know the story of Noah's Ark, but the name of the mountain that he landed on could easily qualify as minutiae; and I've never seen an episode of Dr. Who in my life. Believe it or not, there are a bunch of other smart & worldly people who probably fit this same profile. That's why so many people are complaining about these terms crossing on a Monday. Monday puzzles are marketed as low barrier of entry puzzles that reference terms in the collective zeitgeist. Based on the response to this puzzle, that's not what happened today. And given the fact that way more people agree with my initial comment than your reply, you are clearly in the minority here.
@Adin thanks! I'm 22 days away from my first 100-day streak. I would've stuck with it for 6 hours if I had to haha
