This is the type of Friday / Saturday puzzle I've been waiting to return.

Clever, but I hated it.

Great puzzle. Took me almost two hours which I love for a Saturday. And like all great difficult puzzles the clues were hard but the answers were gettable.

Any else tired of all the gimmicks? I wish we could get straight, non-themed puzzles for Fri, Sat, Sun.

Great puzzle. Fun clues. Few foreign names / places / phrases and best of all no theme and no gimmicks.

I havent missed completing a puzzle in years, but I hate these "clever"puzzles the way I hate magicians. Themes are sometimes fun, but every Sunday thru Thursday is too much bulls@%t. How do the editors expect to attract a new generation of puzzlers past a Monday or Tuesday completion. Pop culture references aren't enough. Just give us a good meaty puzzle without the gimmicks. Thankfully there are Thursdays and Fridays and their archives.

Best Sunday puzzle of the year. So refreshing not having a gimmick or theme. Hire Mr. Quigley full time, please.

What's up with SMURF in all the puzzles lately?

AWESOME PUZZLE! Thank you. More Saturdays like this, please.

Has anyone else noticed that Thursday and Friday puzzles seem easier than they used to be? I do a lot of the archive puzzles and T & F there seem a lot harder.

Please fix the archive bug. I have to go back 10 years to find the puzzles I was working on. It used to hold your place.

Way too easy for a Saturday. I'll have to find something else to do today. I remember when Friday and Saturday puzzles were hard. :(

I'm usually not a fan of Thursday puzzles but this one was great. Loved the offbeat cluing.

Loved it!

AWESOME Puzzle!

Super tough. But no themes or silly gimmicks, so it's a thumbs up from me.
