For no known reason, I have been craving a hot bowl of congee for about three days. I think that made this theme easier for me! It was fun. Thanks to the authors.

A very enjoyable puzzle.

What a delightful puzzle! I appreciate that the first of the theme entries was the easiest to discover; it definitely put me on the right track for the rest. I also went back to look at the 2020 Sunday puzzle that was the inspiration. It is amazing how accurately a movie can be summarized with only three emojis!

A very enjoyable and *packed* puzzle. In 100 years, I would never have understood what the mini-themes were, but I was delighted to read about them in Gameplay. I'm a better solver because of this puzzle.

The Constructor Notes today made me say, "Aaaaaw! So sweet!" Thanks for sharing the fun with us, Mr. Diaz (and Ruby), and may you have many more happy years together.

I enjoyed this puzzle very much. Well done.

What a delicious puzzle! I was surprised that I got the rebus pretty quickly -- partly luck, I think. Congrats to the author for working in so many elements.

The puzzle was fun and I confess that even after I solved it, I was still scratching my head wondering, "Did I miss something?" Naturally, I came directly to Wordplay to find out. The puzzle author's comment, "Get it? The puzzle is ‘illy’ quipped??? We’re hilarious." made me laugh out loud. Thanks to Sam for the word "a-prefixing"! I always love a new linguistic tidbit in my day.

I enjoyed this puzzle very much. And finally felt that reading Hemingway's tale about an elderly fisherman has done me some good in this life.

Very enjoyable puzzle. Made me feel clever for remembering (mostly) Roman numerals and some high school Latin and geometry. Not so much on "chiliagon" which I had to look up but had fun reading about on Wikipedia.

Fun puzzle with a clever theme!
