Just wanted to hop on here to share that after a little over 4 years of solving, I finally got my first Monday puzzle in under 4 minutes! Previously my closest call was 4:06, but this time I breezed through the puzzle in just 3:50 without even really hurrying. I know that solve times and streaks aren't the best way to measure enjoyment, but it's nice to hit a silly little goal I've been getting nearer and nearer to over the past year or so. So thank you Hannah for this sweet Monday puzzle! Such a nicely flowing fill and a theme that I think has the perfect balance of being clever and not too obvious, while still being simple and easy to figure out, perfect for a Monday :-)
