Hecka hard for Monday. Though I am comfortable solving up to Wednesday so I mostly managed to finish, with the exception of needing the N in PEEN / ORONO which is just obscure knowledge frankly.

ENNEADS / SERE / AER was a little much for me!

EMERY, AMES, DRIB, MEWLS, EDGERS? This was harder than many Tuesdays.

30 min in, I'm halfway through and giving up. Not Wednesday difficulty.

After going through both directions twice I had literally 9 clues solved. I can usually do Wednesdays pretty well. This one is too hard.

This one sas smooth except for. natick for me on ARLO and TRIB, also unfortunately SYNOD, YEN, or OILPAN were not in my vocab which made fof a tough cross

Mostly liked but ASKIN was not obvious enough and had me stuck, since the crosses SEN (vs REP?) and KROC were not gonna happen. Also MISEENPLACE (which is an obscure word you either know or looks like total gibberish) crossing with proper SAL and CANST. All in all took me 5 reveal squares

That was pretty tricky. I was OFFCOURSE for quite a while, having INREVERSE instead. Also, not really sure what SNOOT is, I was pretty certain I had it right as SNOUT and TOPKNOTS was not familiar enough to me to help

liked this puzzle. Easy for Tuesday, but at least I actually finished it unassisted which is rare for me. Tower of Hanoi is a freeby for many software engineers because its often taught in beginner classes (being a very simple game to code)

No less than 5 proper nouns crossing in the center left got me hung up, but ultimately I just took a stab and figured MARTHA was only real possibility for a name ending in ARTHA, and that unlocked it for me.

Doesn't ta in British English mean bye, like tata? It's clued as thanks ..

As a monday tuesday solver i can happy attest that this was an approproate difficulty level for me. Only ones I had problems with were “mum” (which is one of those words nobody actually says) and lunk (which i have really never heard)

this was pretty hard for me. After 20 min I gave up and needed 17 revealed squares. I dont always finish Tuesday but usually if I fail i will only need 1-5 reveals. The theme is not even worthy of a groan. Seems like an afterthought.

Theme was irrelevant after reduce reuse recycle, and there was a lot of obscure words and proper nouns. Wasn't really a fan

I think there is no way wednesday-skill solvers will realize this is a rebus and be able to figure it out. I was frustrated and then looked at the comments here, saw it was a rebus, gave it a second look, still wasn't able to do hardly any of the top section. Revealed some words .. oh there it is, groan.

utz and barmitzvah was tricky. Never heard of utz so i had it as uts and barmitsvah.

Tuesdays are so much harder than Mondays. I turned on Autocheck very early and still had to reveal four squares. Two for LIPO of course. Sometimes these clues feel like trivia for obscure definitions. Is it really common knowledge that BLIND is a noun for a duck hunting locale? DIET as a synonym for fare is a bit of a stretch. And “EPA” for DDT banner? I have no idea what this means. With this difficulty, it took me about 19 min to solve. Compare this with yesterdays 5 min speedrun. I personally think the jump between Mon and Tue is too big

7 minute Wednesday is about half my average time. Happy to solve it without hints, but could have been a tad harder. Thanks for a good time anyway.

MERE / EIDER / REESE and DOI / AGER are all pretty obscure.

this one was pretty easy except for TAMPS / PANSY. I suspect I will never see TAMPS outside of a crossword.

Wow! Finished this one in just 1 minute. 10 minutes faster than my average. Getting better I suppose
