My first Tuesday without looking anything up other than spelling! I had FALLS and SINKS, before DROPS, but got there in the end when the only prefix to EAGLE I could come up with was LONE

Suuuuper fun! SW corner defeated me almost entirely, I loved it.

One day I'll remember that when an answer I know is right doesn't fit there's a rebus. Maybe. Then again I was also sure SOAPbar was right.

Ohhh that was tough but fun! I felt very silly when I couldn't think of two letters to precede NUGGETS. I wanted to put ENSILo for so long, close enough I guess. Biggest groan at LALA

Filled in the NW corner fast and wrong my first go with quake and water instead of SIESM and OCEAN, but smooth sailing after that. The theme got me to EXECUTIVE as I couldn't think of any types of BOARD for some reason. Hated NYUK

This was a real slog for me. I didn't find much interest in the grid either. Where yesterday's struggle left me with an "AH!" every time a piece fell this one was just "oh". . . . . . .C'est la vi(emu).

Phew! Triple stack were literally the last lines I filled in. I'm not a fan of phrases as answers, I feel like they're often not specific enough to be satisfying answers. I love a clue where once you get the answer you see how it couldn't be anything else. I liked a lot of the puzzle though.

William's third blackbird was one of the first crosswords I ever did with NYT. Needless to say I still didn't grasp the way language is used for clues and I was completely baffled. All things considered I've improved a lot since then even though much of this was impenetrable at first.

Ooh this was fun to put together. Basically whiteout after the first pass but I got there in the end. Loved XENOMORPH, CITATION NEEDED, EMU. I had sunny-D for 15 down which i like more than whatever SUNTEA is.

I never "get" these themes on my own but I (almost) always appreciate looking back on them afterwards. I can't remember the last puzzle where I changed so many answers, multiple times, to try to make the theme answers work before reading what was going on. Still good fun.

Normally song based themes get a big sigh from me as a non music person, but this one I could fill after the revealer, bless. Quite enjoyed "GIRLSGIRLSGIRLS" right above "the start of Ceasars boast"

I had "weredone" instead of TORTILLA and on the RaG no REG ... I liked the multiplication twist, even with my head cold.

After sailing through the theme I'm totally stuck in the SE corner. 47 crossing 51 and 66. something in French? No idea Is Einstein known for a facial feature? Hair famously but I can't think what else would be distictive. It also seems to be a slang term I'm not familiar with. 50's anything I'm out. I know nothing about that decade.

Ugh, I didn't get this one either, I was sure the dashes ment there Wasn't a rebus.
