Maybe I was just on the constructors' wavelength today, but this was the most fun puzzle I've done in ages. Mind-bendy and creative but doable. Delightful cluing. I only wish it were Sunday-sized!
@Barry Ancona it would've taken you half the time to actually be helpful instead of snarky and define the word for her.
@Holly I agree too. I miss Will Shortz! NYT needs to find better editors if we can't expect him back.
Loved this puzzle. Only got a couple clues at the beginning but didn't panic and ended up finishing. Good crosses helped with a lot of obscure trivia I didn't know. A great brain scrub!
Great puzzle. Got almost nothing in the beginning but it slowly emerged. In the end it was a faster solve for me than many Saturdays.
A perfect Saturday! It should take up a good chunk of a lazy weekend morning and it did just that. Thanks!
@Ben Blackwell it was my most enjoyable Sunday in a while. Fewer of the usual old fallback words. I guess people click with different puzzles.
I really enjoyed this crispy Sunday! It was tough but a fun challenge. Thanks!
Loved this one! So clever and fun but not impossible. Thanks!
Enjoyed this puzzle. A crunchy Saturday with a couple stretch clues but doable.
Loved it! Tough for a Wednesday but I liked that it took up a little more of my pre-work morning. Fun theme and not hard to figure out, though it took a minute. Thanks!
Loved this puzzle! Chewy but doable, great misdirects.
@HeathieJ hated "feminine side"! Should've been axed.
Best Sunday puzzle ever. Hard enough to keep me busy for a while, but fair cluing and a delightful theme. Thank you!
A little easy for a Thursday but such a delight!
@Ernest lots of original words we don't see in crosswords every day! A pleasure to solve, thanks!
A fun and surprisingly quick Saturday solve for me. I thought it was fair - I didn't know some of the trivia but the crosses worked.
Liked the theme but thought most of the cluing was ho-hum. Too many old standards.
