Was going nowhere in this one before nailing my first “dark matter” (the G). There’s something so satisfying about working out what’s going on in a puzzle and 3 or 4 doors instantly opening in front of you! I really enjoyed this one!

After last week’s furore, I came to the comment section expecting more outrage. I’m pleasantly surprised to see mainly positive reactions! Another Thursday cracker - fast becoming my favourite puzzle day!

Without question my favourite NYT puzzle I’ve ever done. I was in despair with my first run through! But the theme clue changed my thinking. Once I got one the rest started tumbling in. The satisfaction from completing this with zero checks is incredible!!! Thanks Mr Goldberg - an absolute masterpiece

Extremely satisfying solve. Thought I was a goner for the first 20 minutes. Slowly but surely the solves started falling in. “Fed” had me pulling my hair out as I was certain of all shared clues - had to google after completion as I still didn’t get it. Being a UK solver has its additional challenges at time! Wonderful puzzle today. Thank you
