Finished just under an hour. A delightful puzzle with some solid chuckles + misdirects. I had ADHERE for 61A but was a little confused what an ASIDE was doing on an album…

I had no (t)issues with this puzzle! :)

All my friends, OPI, EGO, CEO, and APT are here… but there’s an IRA shaped hole in my heart. :p

Solved this one over a glass of tea on my sofa. Relatively quick! Perhaps you could call me a couch potato chip. :)

Great debut from Aidan and Oren! It seems you were born for crossword greatness— look at all the vowels in your names! :)

Love this one! Loved the chuckle I got when I realized some of the fill was wrong. Mixing up two genetic materials was evil!

Who was it, last week, that wanted to see baba ghanoush in a puzzle after we got the answer HUMMUS? I’m thinking of you!

Ack. A lot of lookups and abbreviations I didn’t know. At least my old pal UGLI is here.

I had EchOeS for a while, thinking it was such a genius way to mark what comes and goes… Other than that, I liked this puzzle! Enough to sink my teeth into without too much obscurity.

Always happy to see my own identity, ARO, in a solve! I suspect the NYT agrees with me. We love nothing more than three of the most common letters in the alphabet :)

Quick one for me today! I admit I was late in submitting since I was out— shaking my senator’s hand, might I add. Now on to the Sunday puzzle.

What a great puzzle! The example all Sundays should strive for, if only so I can see a cute little animation at the end of them.

The first one I solved was GRAINOFSAND, and from there I was quite a happy camper. Got stuck on litTLENUDGE… perhaps I needed one of my own. :)

Quite the brow-furrower today. Slower than average. Still fun!

This puzzle was solved 30,000 feet in the air. By me! (A wonderful distraction from plane sickness.)

Slower than average— a few stumbling blocks, but a lively Tuesday. Thanks!

A quick one for me, but that’s because I spent a lot of time out of the app thinking. This was really a whole morning affair— not one I’m mad about. A great Friday puzzle!

Sent 1A to my friend in a heavy metal band. I hope they’re not disappointed at the new venue. :p

Nearly got the rare sub-9-minute Monday puzzle, but I’ve never seen the Andy Griffith Show and… didn’t know what a HABO or a HEBO was. We all have those days :p

Proud to be a part of the secret true puzzlehead society >:)

Finished exactly at my average time. I’m satisfied!

Also— proud to say as an experienced fisherman, clammer, and crabber (unsure on the nouns for those last two), I knew that SCALLOP fun fact. Take a look next time you open one up. Maybe they’ll wink!

Good heavens, what a journey. I liked the path this took me on, winding through the DOTTED squares. I needed more breakfast, I think. Or more coffee.

I had gotshOT for a while. Those are the hits on my mind, I suppose. What a BUFFOON I was…

Phew, kept my streak alive. Barely.

My MAMA’S favorite ice cream is CHERRY GARCIA. Though I think I was more enthused about that combination of answers than she was.
