We don't usually comment, but feel compelled to today based on the surprising amount of negativity. We solve every day, and we enjoyed this puzzle thoroughly. It was a lovely debut, and a fun Thursday.

I am surprised by all the grief this puzzle garnered. For us, it was an enjoyable Tuesday--trickier than normal, but not offensive in any way.

I enjoyed most of the wordplay, but objected to a couple of these clues. Chicken nuggets come in many shapes... McNuggets come from a particular fast food chain in none of those shapes. In Scrabble, a "z tile" isn't a 10-point play--it's a tile worth 10 points. It must be played with other tiles, and the score is generated from the word.
