I am far from an expert solver, but found this to be the easiest Thursday puzzle in months. The trick just popped out after I finished going through the across clues and from there on it was simple. I find it odd that many commenters criticize the constructor when they can't solve a puzzle. When I am stumped (which happens fairly often as the week moves from Thursday to Saturday), I just conclude that I'm not expert enough to finish the puzzle. If necessary, I look as a hint or two and proceed onward.
This was one of the hardest Tuesday puzzles ever, at least for me. More like a Thursday level of difficulty.
Hardest Wednesday puzzle in a long, long time. Sometimes, due to a combination of odd cluing, too many puns, oddly worded answers (xraycamera????) and ones that I just don't know/can't get, I find a puzzle annoying and difficult. At least for me, this one was both. More like a Friday level of difficulty.
@Bill I'm not a programmer and I found this to be the easiest Thursday puzzle in awhile. Not sure why, but I figured it out quickly and finished it 3 minutes faster than my Thursday average.
@ImThatGuy My first thought exactly. I guess Will hasn't seen an extra-inning game in a few years? He clearly missed this one.
@Calhouri I did as well -- it was the last section I completed. Though, for these in NJ/PA, Wawa was easy (and is often in the NYT puzzle).
@John I agree. The hardest Thursday puzzle in my memory. A combination of an odd trick and obscure clues/fills.
@Dawn Thank you for the post. I did the same and then came here to see if there was an explanation.
