I think there should be a word for when you solve the crossword but miss the theme/trick.

Excellent puzzle and fun to solve! And definitely a Wednesday crossword: two-letter rebuses (rebi?) plus a graphic are a great intro to the concept.

Perfect Thursday puzzle. Capital on the Med and musical appreciation clues especially nice. And some (but not all) of the “tricks” solved by crosses. Nice work

50% easy and 50% twisty, which is a perfect Wednesday. And thank you for sharing the tribute to your neighbor. Loss is hard.

Even if you’ve filled in a Thursday puzzle, it isn’t complete till you’ve worked out the trick. Bravo, nicely done.

A particularly good Thursday puzzle! More by this constructor, please

So many rebuses (rebi??) made it easier

Clever idea, but the clues were unusually easy for a Thursday.

Beautifully constructed! And would have been easier if I’d known how to spell that pesky worm

Who are Sid, Ted, Abe, Sam and Mel? I think they should be in a band

“Airline magazine crossword”? Do they still exist?

I solved this without seeing or needing to see the W-D thing. And I’d say that makes it “not a Thursday”

I read the comments to find out why this was a Thursday. It would have been better as a Friday. Clever but too easy
