Really beautiful puzzle! It took me a second once figuring out the revealer to understand how it connected to the other words. When I got it, it felt like an "Aha!" moment. Perfect level of difficulty for a Tuesday IMO. Glad to see my first year uni logic course come to use haha. What a lovely debut :)

I feel like ive seen OBOE so much recently lol

did anyone else get stuck spelling ARTOO as ARTWO? oops!

Really enjoyable! My personal favourites were the clues for CIGARBOXES and PAGETURNER I can’t believe it took me so long to fill in MEETCUTES despite watching so many romcoms 🤣 I was thinking more of tropes like miscommunication whoops!

I wish the rebus had a circle so we knew it was something "abnormal"/aligned with the theme. Having one rebus really threw me off, I thought it was just me but many others had the same reaction. Apart from that, I really enjoyed this puzzle. I figured out the theme before all the letters were placed in the circles so I screenshotted the crossword and drew on it which was really fun!

Lovely puzzle today, thanks!

I think this crossword was easier for Gen Z, because I managed to solve quicker than my average! I really enjoyed todays puzzle :)

Me trying to fit TKO into 48D 😅 Overall I really liked the theme/flow of this puzzle, I actually found it easier than the Tuesday puzzle this week. Although I will grumble a bit about MINORTEAM. I was expecting that it to be hard regardless of the wording as I don't know about American sports (not complaining though, I get its an American crossword)

I didn't have enough of the letters filled, so I thought it was ODDONEOUT Then I assumed one of the letters in each group was different from the other two. It led me down a rabbit hole and I had to eventually look at the article for help. I'm a beginner puzzle solvers and Thursdays get to me!

I liked this! The only thing that was unfortunate for me was most of the clues in the “Tricky clues” section I had filled out, but the ones I needed weren’t there 🤣 I got there in the end though lol

I figured out the theme pretty quickly, but had to search up the remaining state capitals I hadn't found yet :P

I loved these clues, I felt on the same wavelength as the constructor! POPEMOBILE had to be my favourite clue haha Thanks for a good puzzle!

This is the most fun I've had with a crossword in a while. Especially after a wednesday and thursday that I was completely stumped on, this was really enjoyable. I like how it wasn't to U.S. centred (I get it, this is a U.S. newspaper, but sometimes theres too many U.S. trivia in one crossword) & how there were questions for younger people! Thank you!

I for one am glad that there was no YELLOW light mentioned, as it would start a whole new debate on YELLOW vs AMBER lights (I, for one am team amber, but recognise this is an American based crossword so I am probably in the minority)

Easy but fun puzzle today. Good way to start off the week! Got confused with CHESSMOVE vs checkmate. Doesn't help that I'm not sure what APRS was. So had to wait until the end to rejig that section.

loved this puzzle today. Thanks!
