Great fun. The long rhyming answers made me chuckle. Wonderful first NYT puzzle, Ms. McCullough. Looking forward to more.

Great puzzle, my favourite of the year. Every time I solved one of the theme clues I laughed out load. Thanks Mr. Chalfin!

@Xaiou Well, that should be 1 am. I guess we can't edit our comments.

Crunchier than a usual Monday, at least for me, but also a great bit of fun.

Well done Hemant! Challenging and great fun. I had for too long OPUS for 18a but when I took it out the rest fell into place.

Great fun! Somehow I knew 21d and 22a. Also 21a made me lol.

This was a 14D for me. Lots of fun and grin-inducing answers.

Great fun, and a personal Sunday record! Got the theme rather early, and breezed through most of the entries.

Great Thursday puzzle! Caught on to the rebus fairly quickly and it helped the solve.

46A was a new word for me. Had to do an alphabet run on the end but got the music... fun Friday puzzle.

@Weak Yeah, I didn't get that either... got it from the crosses and got the music so, well, ok.

Man, the big clog for me was "Millennial's successor, informally". I wanted it to be Gen Zed.

@Cathy It's a baseball reference. Walks are a stat for a pitcher.

Took a while to get going on this. My starting point was 43D and slowly built momentum. Great puzzle!

Nice breezy puzzle. I especially likes 52a... I wonder how many times this word as appeared in the past.

Seems to be a false fail, for me. One letter or more is off, but everything matches the reveal page. One letter is flagged - the A in Equatorial. What could be the problem?
