This was such a fun puzzle!!! Excellent construction. Clues felt fair too. Kudos!

“Does as a group” — marvelous! And a hat trick of spinners. What a way to close out the World Cup

My first Saturday with no lookups! Started incorrectly with DOTHETIME at 10D…NE corner was my last fill. Thanks for the reminder to ask my accountant dad to help me with my taxes. Have a great weekend, all!

Loved clueing in 17-Down because today’s Chicago Bears 59 - Carolina Panthers 37 was a SCORIGAMI. Happy NFL Sunday!

My best Friday time no hints! Think I’m getting the hang of this. Especially loved 16-Across and ‘tis the season for 54-Across! Thank you Robyn :)

This was a toughie! But ultimately rewarding and timely. Particularly enjoyed the clue for 63-across “Final watcher.” I was so stuck on self-driving cars having many RECALLS

Absolutely epic puzzle top to bottom!

Just incredible!

This was so awesome. Love that there were 3 “elements”…the puns, “OO” clues, and Connery/Bond tie-together at the end. Great debut!

I believe this is the first Saturday I’ve completed without any lookups! Fun puzzle and great past time while I’m off the 8-down :)

I loved this puzzle! The sense of elation I felt when I figured out the theme was unexpected but very welcome. Well done, Aidan and Jacob!

This was so fun, super clever, and got a :O (!) out of me when I got to the revealed. I love when the construction is the “theme”

Loved this puzzle for two reasons: 1. I’m Texan and love the rodeo (and Tim Duncan, but wrong team!) 2. My fastest Monday time!

Took about 2 passes but happy to have no look ups! Loved 37-across

So much fun cluing in this one. I really hit a good groove and ended up recording my fastest Friday time at sub-9-minutes with no lookups. Doing my best to 31-Across!

My best Saturday — no lookups either! Thanks for a fun puzzle Blake!

Oh this was so cool! Kudos

This is so epic! Props for an incredible construction, and happy Earth Day!

Super awesome puzzle overall, and an extra challenge for me solving on mobile and keeping track of the dark squares. Cause everything worked without them! Big fan of PACE and TROT sitting pretty together

I am not in the easier vs harder wars, but I wonder if this Friday was such a beast in that it made this Saturday more manageable than usual. Not that this was easy…but yesterday felt like an audition for today. TLDR; Great puzzle! I always feel very grateful to do this as a hobby and pastime. Yes, we pay for it, but I love that I get to enjoy so much talent in this format. My goal is to create a puzzle of my own that gets published in the NYT.

SW corner gave me more trouble than expected. I caught the theme quite early, but I’m only trilingual+. English, French, Swahili, and not enough Spanish

This was clever and so much fun. I love a classic, well-done theme paired with good fill. This was so that!

I absolutely adored this puzzle! Happy International Women’s Day! What a treat.

So much good here! And loved the theme entries too. Perfect Thursday
