This millennial found this puzzle an absolute delight. I already had the themed answers by the time I reached the revealer and thought IMSHOOK was so charming.

This was a sticky solve for me. Many times I had filled in most of an answer missing one or two letters and could not for the life of me think of a possible fill, only to surprise myself minutes later. (I sat on _MI_USZERO for a long time.) Tricky enough to keep my brow furrowed but not too frustrating to return to! I enjoyed the challenge.

One of my all time favorite puzzles. The revealer was witty and I delighted in discovering the related answers. I don’t think there were any misses in the rest of the clues either- altogether a wonderful solving experience.
