This was one of the easiest Monday crosswords that I have filled in. Normally I have to look at the answer key to figure out an answer. I spelled one entry wrong which threw me off for about 30 seconds. The bits of trivia were exciting to solve. Who knew that there is a Guinness record for assembling a Mr. Potato Head?! Overall this was an extremely fun crossword to do.

This was quite the enjoyable puzzle. I had a few “a-ha moments” when trying to figure out certain clues, such as “Wrangler on the road” clue at 19-across. Same thing with 10-Down “Cuban rum cocktail”. Incidentally I agree with the editor of today’s article. I prefer to do my puzzles on print with a pen.

Reading through a good portion of clues, I had no idea what the answers were. After I got started, I was able to use some of the letters to formulate the answers I needed. This is one of the rare puzzles where I didn’t have to look at the answer key. The theme was very clever, as I enjoyed finding the names of famous singers in the circles boxes. Once I got going this was an extremely easy and enjoyable puzzle.
