This was just great. Was flummoxed until I was well into the clues but pleased to finish. I’ve been doing these puzzles for decades and so it’s actually fun when you get something challenging but solvable. Great puzzle. Thank you.
Everyone is welcome to a view, but my conclusion is that this was a highlight crossword puzzle, as it has engendered so many different reactions. There was a time when everyone would know this poem, especially the closing lines, but that was 60 years ago. Many unkind and unnecessary comments, but interesting to see so much passion created by a puzzle. Well done.
It immediately was clear that this was something new. Love the different approach to clues. When you’ve been doing these as long as I have, something that makes you think and think differently is really welcome. I’m sure it will rattle some people, but I enjoyed it. Thank you.
Some never-seen and clever clues. Had to re- think a few that would otherwise seem easy. Look forward to more. Thanks.
Really clever and well done. Lots of clues I’ve never seen before. Look forward to many more puzzles by GS. Thanks.
Not a quick one but clever and made me think. Thanks. And good luck!
@Erk the same person who said “hundo” yesterday?
@Clem I also opt for agorae, but would be happy if NYT just picked one and stayed with it. At any given point it will take either.
Really well done Was filling in answers but took a while to understood what I had. Appreciate the intricacy. Bravo. Heading to your others.
@JPT Big sigh. I thought the comments would be full of reactions to this. I appreciate the inclusion of vernacular, but really?
@Mooße it appears to be hopeless!
