Truly a very clever and fun Thursday puzzle!

If you've never done a rebus, this puzzle would make an excellent introduction.

This was a really fun Saturday puzzle.

Well, that was just amazing. Technically brilliant and fun.

I can't believe I did this without lookups. Tough puzzle, but ultimately solvable!

Very, very clever. This is the kind of trickiness I love in a Thursday puzzle.

That was very cool.

Whew! Finished without lookups. Tough, but fair.

Tricky, of course. But the obscure was crossed with the guessable, so I managed it all without lookups. Fun puzzle!

Wow! This was a fabulous puzzle! Very intimidating at first, but the Downs were straightforward enough that it all came together pretty quickly. A very impressive feat of construction!

Very clever! I filled it in pretty quickly once I figured out the revealer. Fun puzzle!

This would be an excellent puzzle for someone new to solving Saturday puzzles. It's on the easier range of Saturday difficulty, but it presents enough of a challenge to build confidence to tackle more difficult Saturdays. And, of course, it's just a fun puzzle to solve!

That was amazing. Like Sam, I filled in all the rebuses with UP. It never occurred to me that DOWN would work just as well until I got to the clue. So cool.

Tricky theme. Fun puzzle. Perfect Thursday crossword.

This puzzle was sheer delight! Very well crafted and fun!

Fun puzzle! Exactly the difficulty one would expect for a Saturday.

That was a fun puzzle! I didn't realize until I read the constructor notes that the only Os were in the pips. Impressive!

That was very enjoyable! A fun, holiday-themed puzzle.

That was a fun, clever grid.

That was a very clever puzzle. Tricky and fun!

A delightful puzzle! Just tricky enough for a Saturday.

Fun puzzle!

Very impressive debut and a very fun puzzle!

That was a fairly easy Sunday. The rebus and the rest of the puzzle were fun!
