@Susan C I hear you. “Oh to solve this crossword replace all the ‘M’s’ with ‘T’s’ and then turn it upside down.” Feels frustrating because we’re all meant to understand the basic “rules” of crosswords, but they seem to break the rules and call it a “trick.” Next we’ll have letters going outside the borders of the puzzle!!

@Marty Why was the clue written as “coinage of the early 2000s?” with a question mark? Would the clue not be more accurate without question mark? There’s no wordplay or anything.

@Grumpy On a similar note, since “mucho” is Spanish, shouldn’t the answer (lotsa) also be in Spanish?
