@5cat It put a smile on my face when it appeared. A nice thing to feel with all the tragedy and drama going on in the world.

Lovely Monday puzzle😊 Thank you so much NYT for making the Mondays a little more interesting/challenging than they used to be.

It was quite a bit difficult for me for Thursday. But when it was finished, I thought the theme was like a work of art.

A lot of fun. Tricky in a few spots, but the solve seemed to work itself out. I just followed it around the grid.

@Steve L The word “octopus” has a Greek origin, not Latin. Here’s a breakdown: 🧠 Etymology: • From Ancient Greek: • ὀκτώ (októ) = “eight” • πούς (poús) = “foot” • So, octopus literally means “eight-footed.” The word came into English via modern scientific Latin, which is why there’s some confusion between Latin and Greek origins. ⸻ 📚 What’s the plural of “octopus”? There are three commonly used plurals, and only one is strictly “correct” in standard English: Octopuses ✅ Standard English plural Most correct and widely accepted in English Octopi ❌ From Latin rules, but incorrect etymologically Based on the (wrong) idea that “octopus” is Latin Octopodes ✅ From Ancient Greek plural

@Grant I was thinking the same. Curtis Sliwa is running for mayor again.

I didn’t know what 10 down was, so I had to get 25 across correct. And the only thing I could think of for blues group was university of North Carolina that were blue so I used UNC instead of DNC.😱
