@Jesse 100% , echo is delay not reverb. I think most any audio effect enthusiast would know what the clue meant but still be slightly irritated at the inaccuracy.

@Andrzej he is overusing gen Z / gen Alpha slang in a cringey way. When the adults start doing this, you can be sure the slang wont last for long.

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)

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.

@Alan this one really screwed me up because i was sure it had something to do with baseball (hit, run vs error) - these are all things that can happen in at at-bat.

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

@Jay fyi this site is very sketchy. You should never provide a login token to another website, they can use this to impersonate you.

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