Entrees always throws me. An Entree in Oz is a starter dish, not a main course Also what am I missing with Uncle? I got it from the crosses Once I got the theme it was a fun little fill
Can't say I enjoyed this one. Definitely gave me a sense of impending doom, as I gesture with incredulity
@Jonathan Baldwin But isn't that what the clue said? I don't understand the nitpick
Tough old Tuesday for this Aussie. Definitely felt like a Wednesday, but we got there in the end
Nan is a woman's name? That's what I call my grandma, but I dont know anyone with that name And I agree with Paul V, two days in a row with almost identical clues and the same answer? Cute theme though
Not gonna lie I thought the revealer had something to do with pi. I had worked out the 9d needed a four in the rebus to make sense, and the other two rebuses I had squared away as one and 3. But I didnt let ego get in the way I circled back and an audit revealed i had made an error in my maths. Upon re-entry I was able to complete the puzzle. Luckily im a fast worker and was able to finish under my usual time
That was a delight. Loved the theme, and fantastic cluing. (32A)Blue stop sign solving to Safe word? Genius! (30A) type of drag solving to main, great aha moment. (31A)Parrot solving to ape? Simple and elegant. Loved this one
@Sherman Ah of course 🤦♂️
For the most part I enjoyed it, but I felt there were a couple of clunkers in there. The crossing of close race (14d) and CD drive (40a) I didnt love. Ive never once called my cd player a cd drive. I had close call for "anyones game" for way too long, which for my money makes more sense. Having said that, the clues for 44a and 38d were 👨🍳💋. The theme was really clever as well. 9/10 would puzze again
Definitely felt like a themeless Wednesday. But it was just under my Friday best, so it made me feel smarter than I actually am, so thanks I guess
Well that was satisfying. Just the right amount of brain crunch and gimmes to make it fun. Even the ones ive never heard of i could get from the crosses. Set a new personal best for Wednesday. You could almost switch yesterday's for today's and still make sense
@Scott i had single for a second which really threw me for a loop
What do I need to do to get my comments published? They never seem to make it
