I really love today’s crossword!! Even though I know nothing about sports, baseball and English is my second language ( im fluid in English) I finally got a crossword where I really could dive into it. Most of the answers I could figure out myself, EVEN THE BASEBALL ONES!! And I loved it!! Loved finally doing a crossword for real and not having to search for hints on 80% of it and stumble on things I have never heard of, even though I’m perfectly fluid in English. I think crosswords like this really help spreading the NYT games to a broader international audience.

Thank you for your helping tips on crosswords. I’m still relatively new to crosswords so I really appreciate the tips. Especially for 36-Across!

What is a crossword qualifier? Or how can you tell when there is one? Is it just the clue or is it after the comma (if there is one)? I’m kind of new to crosswords. I wish NYT had an article that explains the terms they use and that basic understanding that they and the frequent crossword-doers seem to have

Thank you Sheldon Cooper for the help with 30-A😊🥸
