@Lewis Thanks for the kind words, and glad you enjoyed the puzzle! Stopped in to read the comments and apparently I drew the short straw on timely bugs – must be a Windows thing, the format looks fine on my Mac in both Safari and Chrome **shrug** I dubbed the Sunday puzzle “It’s Literally Worth Watching!”, and some of those themers were more “literal”, whereas the editing team felt more strongly about cohesive wordplay. Ultimately it ended up being a tighter puzzle this way, so I'm pleased they offered the opportunity for me to revise it. A few that were left on the cutting room floor: • [“Free Solo?”] – GRIPPING DOCUMENTARY … (I loved this one but it was, indeed, too literal and ‘documentary’ doesn’t have another meaning) • [“The Biggest Loser?”] – WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM … (too long for 15x15, though I did yoink ‘program’ in the reworked puzzle) • [“Total Recall?”] – MENTAL PICTURE … (couldn’t get the symmetry nailed down with another 13-letter themer, so I went in another direction) I hope those affected by the formatting issues have an entertaining solve nonetheless!
