I ended up having to look for help for the top left corner, but im still new to solving friday/saturday puzzles without auto check! proud I got 90% of it on my own. I love puzzles like this. Minimal weird dated trivia, minimal "crosswardese", the clever long pun answers are crossed by clues that can be deduced logically and with wit. a perfect puzzle!!
@Kevin In the wordplay article, they mention Fin comes from "1920s slang and is related to “finif,” the Yiddish word for the number five." Hadn't heard it before too and it got me stumped!
@Sally ive noticed that too. its the new OREO
@Kelly H Hi, I found this to be particularly difficult and it took me a very long time + reading the wordplay column. Any advice for a newer solver of Saturdays?
@Katherine I was also quick today! usually struggle on Fridays and have to look up at least one thing. I did today's puzzle in about 9 minutes with no hints!
@dutchiris the year is yours for the taking!
@Laura us dyslexics commit them constantly!
