I’ve been getting through recent Saturdays in good time. This has me absolutely stumped. Leave the negativity about “easy” and “hard” at home and enjoy the journey.
In no world is an IPAD an alternative for the Pixel. One is a phone. The other is a tablet. Other than that, a fun romp.
I liked it. I’ve been doing the 90s crosswords from the archive, and they’re a lot like this. Slowest Thursday in a while, but I figured it out, and that felt good.
One of my favorite themes in recent memory.
@Dan That’s not correct. “To THINE own self be true” would be nonsensical if that were the case. Rather “thine” is a possessive form that appears before a word starting with a vowel or an “h.”
Had an amazing time until the coy little rebus area came calling. Then I descended into a hell of overly cutesy cluing and a twist that seems cruel for a Wednesday. All in the middle-right section, no less. And I’ll put that on my JDATE profile.
@Aaron I stand corrected. Just Googled it. I did not know that they weren’t creative enough to name the tablet something different than the phone. The more you know.
@Twangster They all feature the sound “achoo” when pronounced.
@Tbj “How art thou” is an old way to say “how are you?” It’s wordplay on how the english language has changed.
@jas Well, I’ve learned something new. I have never in my life seen the “oops all u’s” version.
@Barry Ancona I would encourage you to use those 80 years of life experience to also be kinder, instead of making jokes at fellow solvers expense. Take a page from the Connections community and offer advice or help instead of condescension.
@Susan I found this to be filled to the brim with obscure facts.
Sorry, but is there a mistake in the cluing of USEINAPINCH? “Min_sc_le” also leaves out an “i,” so I had “YOUANDI____” for quite a while. None of the other clues do this.
@Kevin Speak for yourself. The NE section and this “circuit” question are killing me.
Can anyone enlighten me ahour 6D? I have no idea how it connects.
