Please stop the unbelievably annoying pop-up instructions from Shortz. Stop. Just stop.
A sweet and smooth Thursday puzzle, but the real joy today was Deb Amlen's laugh-out-loud column. Bonus points for keeping me chuckling right through the tricky clues section. Thanks Deb, I needed that.
Thursday is my favorite puzzle day, but not today. The tedious trivia and fill that seemed to mug for the hipness camera was both boring and exhausting and the theme while cute seemed pedestrian. It was such a bad puzzle that mid-solve I checked to see who constructed the clunker and was shocked to its was Adam Wagner whose work I greatly admire. I started to worry about his personal life and physical health... then I read his comment about using AI in his construction process. Please Mr. Wagner, step away from the bot!
Wow, just wow. So tricky and so satisfying. This goes to the top of my "great Thursday puzzles" list - and Thursdays are my favorites. Thank you!
A very pleasant twisty puzzle, but as someone in the Thursdays-are-my-favorite camp, the fussy circles and straight forward revealer drained the Thursday sparkle from my solving day. Flat champagne.
@Steve L Thank you!! I was completely blank on this. Tripled checked the crosses. No mistakes. Heard the music, but my lack of understanding nagged. Now I have learned something:))
@StevenR Thank you! I,too, was baffled by "massif" and have been eagerly scanning the comments section for a generous and knowledgeable soul to enlighten me - fortunately I found one!
