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.
Can't believe all the complaints about this fun puzzle! Yeah a little tough but I enjoyed it and learned some things.
Tough but fun and satisfying! Thanks!
@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!
A worthy Saturday puzzle with lots of fun new trivia and minimal crossword cliches. Thanks!
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.
A puzzle worthy of a dreary Sunday. Thanks!
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.
I have a plasma TV! It's awesome!
