@Deb Amlen . . . & here we are 2025šŖ Keep up the good DAYTODAY workā£ļø
Nice to receive a note to us from you Will Shortz. When you started my mom was sitting on the couch doing the puzzle every day, on paper with her big olā dictionary by her side. I imagine sheād have a certain look on her face seeing me with my little phone on the bus.
Am I ever going to remember ELROY?
Good puzzle. Loved The Doors. No such thing as BOCCI, NO SIR!
I donāt mind any puzzle, all good. Having said that, I think feedback is fair. SETINOPPOSITION seemed inelegant for ācontrastā to my ears, but apparently itās a thing!
Just couldnāt think of the word MONOGAMY (GAMe, GAMo, GAMi)š¤¦š»āāļø But that hitch led me to Wordplay column, & Comments, and, the chance to say Happiest of New Years & days ahead @Debā£ļø
Leave it to SIXTUS to get me! SIXTUS I, II, etc.
Really amazing, especially considering that those strange words with Roman numerals were actually other words too!
I confidently filled eInHORn, making SAMBeR & BUTTHUnT, which all made sense since an AIRHORN, IMHO, is the opposite of a āmusical sampleāš!
@MmmmHmm Either you knew that immediately or CHARLIXCX. Pick your poison!
Good puzzle! 56A, opposites. Patriotism is something else entirely.
Had to ignore the āpicture cluesā hint, since they were numbers . . . moved steadily until I solved UPSIDEDOWN and then had some fun! InA for IGA was a look up since I was a foodie when that meant reading Craig Claiborneās reviews!
I caught on but filled in top-to-bottom and so got stymied until . . . I wasnāt!
Wow, outstanding! I kinda thought there was a rebus, but just couldnāt figure out where, although I got the idea that the four letter down words were āincompleteā so I did seek some Wordplay help to put it all together, but still very satisfying.
@Andrzej The incomparable Natalia Osipova and Reece Clarke (costumed appropriately as Albrect)!!
Really fun Thursday, knowing those two QQs at the top had to stay. Also, how fab is EMANUEL? Enjoy yourself @Deb, and many thanks for your calm and positive encouragement; and for your honesty as well!
Cool to see Justin Peckās ILLINOISE in a puzzle. Hooray for choreographersā£ļø
Not knowing Bill the Cat, I wrote iCK for his exclamation, since LiBS could be the culture setters. Could be. Deb straightened me out.
Nice, after a 2 hour stint yesterday; but I question that COMAS are deep sleeps.
@jdc I think itās referring to ātake a pennyā in the saying ā was wondering that as you were writing!
@kilaueabart Wow! 30 in 1965? Far out!! Donāt remember Light My Fire like I do? Watch Val Kilmer in The Doors!
