My name was in this glorious Monday puzzle. A delight to fill in.
@Red Carpet Three and a half years zero alcohol, this puzzle made me reconsider. I will stay strong, though. SETINSTONE is my clue today!
Deb, feel better. Sleep, gargle salt water.... What a great puzzle! Over before I could believe it. Great fill and wonderful long answers. More puzzles, mr Josephson, and best luck with your studies as you submit puzzles.
Loved all the art clues. My beloved Aunt and Uncle Visited Coralville Iowa and posed for an alternate American Gothic photo. Thanks, Michael Schossberg for that memory. Learning or reviewing while we puzzle, Vega's Constellation and Crazy Horse through a Sunday Puzzle is a treat!
Zhou, your puzzle is a great start to the week. Thanks so much. ETNA I experienced years ago in Italy. LUCKY CHARMS was a cereal I always pined for as a child. Your notes show what a wonderful person you are and you shared that in this magnificent puzzle. Thanks.
“The ultimate form of free speech” and “The origin of wisdom” are both important parts of life. Thanks John Guzzetta.
I've always liked HARD EDGE paintings but never knew that name. Thanks Laura Dershewitz and Katherine Balcker! Great Tuesday puzzle.
I loved the message- we should do more- and cross clues and delighted in figuring them out from crosses. Brialliant, challenging Monday! Thanks, Mr. David J. Kahn
Putting old English in long crosses, THINE in TRUTHINESS was simpley a fun Monday puzzle, Please write more puzzles Mr. Levav.
Deb, Your colunms got me through tough puzzles, smiling often laughing. Your wit will be missed. Good luck in you next endeavers.
Beautiful tribute to your father, Deb. I lost mine before I was four so I envy you! My Mom introduced crosswords to my older brother, but mourning my Dad, didn't with me. My younger daughter brought me to crosswords as she and friends needed the puzzle in college after the subscription ended there. I loved the puzzles and still do. Great Thursday puzzle, Ms. Goldstein and Mr Wagner. Keep working together, please.
Sorry Arjun passed. Spore and the themes make this a great example of young puzzle talent. Adrianne, please continue making puzzles.
@Mike You couldn't have said it better! We look for your puns daily and love this community. One, two, and three. May we treasure our holidays and puzzles. Especially the Mega Puzzle!
Double fun. Thanks, Jeffrey Martinovic.
@Janine May the puzzle make you smile! Girl Power!
@K D That's the Cantonese way I learned it. I enjoyed getting it through crosses.
38 Across brought a smile as I said another TV Clue. Then I got crosses. Wow! Fun! Thanks, Mr. Lim! A Fun Friday! Keep writing puzzles!
@Puzzlemucker Crossword save the day every day, in my humble opinion. The first poem ending "duty was joy" seems the best of the way to see life now and for four more years.
Happy Birthday Rena! Great puzzle from Morsal to desert! May your day get better and better.
Deb, you'll be missed, but you deserve the break. Travel, sleep in, enjoy hobbies. Enjoy the puzzles, too!
@Sam CLAY as tennis court. So my dear hubby answered when I asked.
Loved the first stanza and shading with funny spellings giving clues and getting 2 down quickly which was a blast. Thanks Adam Vincent for an enjoyable puzzle.
@Fidelio For me the South West corner was my entry! FEMIINISTS through crosses and then I was off and happy! BIZET didn't unlock clues the same way!
@Francis I taught for 28 years. In the last ten we got a computer with cart and projector and projected on a screen. White boards came after that. With markers!
My local City PS 40 had a quilter who encouraged us to make quilt squares to remember those lost on 9/11. I quilted with daughters a fire fighter's boots using part of a uniform and another one with a rainbow smbolizing hope. It hang in a upper hallway. The community had a spelling be- parents of the students did the quilting!
@Anita I started with BRAID for 1 down then the fun began! Great puzzle.
@CCNY I learned gesundheit in HS and prosit in a grad program in Sweden. Fun memory. Extra fun Monday sneezy puzzle!
@Matt It's a great group. You will love the support, wisdom, and poetry. Recognizing names is part of the fun!
@Shari Coats Me, too. Students liked when words rhymed in songs we sang, but the words here they had to moemorize. I challenged them to find the language clues to where we borrowed from. They both loved and hated that. They learned nevertheless, and made me proud. This puzzle was hard and fun. Thanks Meghan Morris for the ride.
@Mike I have a slotted spatula but use tongs so much more. Hmm.
Let's count our blessings, practice kindness, and be thankful for what we have- a love of puzzles. TURKEY SUB and TATER tots sound like great left overs. Happy Thanksgiving to all and to those who don't celebrate, enjoy the day.
Seeing Acupuncture on a day where I got acupuncture was fun. The puzzle was a gem with the needle theme. I loved it!
@Mean Old Lady Next February, try acupuncture for allergies. It’s amazing relief.
@Bee Winberg I lost smell and taste three years ago, and I much prefer kale to limper salad! I also loved this puzzle with blinkers and L R. Great puzzle and crunchy salad.
@Lewis Agreed! Smiles while completing.
@Lewis I did, until the cross made me change it.
@CB As a Iowan by birth, I loved 16 across, and the puzzle. Thanks for a wonderful Friday puzzle. May we all get to enjoy it fully.
@Andrzej I am naturally flat footed, orthortics help me get around easily. I am no ACTION HERO, but I have a ROLLICKING good time living and doing puzzles.
Easy but fun! Great theme answers, nice fill. Know the next days will bring challanges.
@john ezra Great idea! I will read a poem or two a day!
@DYT I love Swedish Rye and baked it as a teen. I used my Swedish grandmother's recipe and even made it to take to the county fair. It went to the state fair! Great puzzle with a wonderful theme. Thanks Dan Margolis!
@Dave S I actually love the ends! Funny but I do!
@Marshall Walthew I also collected special pennies and would pick up a penny, we are losing part of our America.
@Lyn I have Paw Paw trees growing in the Catskill Mountains which will provide fruit soon. Yummy!
@Barry Ancona I guess they went there because of Dvosak. I think Eldon is near Iowa City and they used the photo for a holiday card.
@Sam Lyons For the migraine three essentail oils, mixed in carrier oil, would cure you. If you are interestred DM me. Basil, marjoram and peppermint are the oils.
@Michael I first thought rebus and when I looked at the colors, I giggled happily! Wow!
