I was so damn close to finishing a Sunday crossword without assistance… about 80% this time… what a genuinely GREAT puzzle.

STAIDLY and STATELY both fitting that one clue is criminal!!! Great puzzle - this is the furthest I've ever gotten in a Saturday puzzle without autocheck (about 75% the way through). Enjoying my progress in NYT crosswords!

Fun little puzzle!

A great Monday puzzle! A joy after my sobering awakening from yesterday.

Clever puzzle that was deeply and resoundingly enjoyable! Bravo.

Fun puzzle!

Very brutal puzzle for me that I had to auto check and soon reveal. But: VACANTLOT got a good laugh out of me

Great puzzle, and I laughed out loud at “dank” and “deep fried” for memes and how dated they admittedly are…

Was stuck on SW for a good second when I thought that a "blushing matter" was a ROUSE and not a ROUGE... Fun puzzle

Am I the only one that got really tripped up with “ARAL”? I was trying to find my mistake for nearly 20 minutes, which turned out to be the errant “URAL”…

Great theme and I loved the execution. NIKE being clued as “Personification of victory” is a little dubious imo…
