Is today Wednesday? It sure seems like it......
Flabbergasted and amazed that a 13 year old constructed today's puzzle. Bravo, and keep constructing, please!
@Andrzej Got it......thank you for this!
Stumped on 'Diddly' Squat for quite awhile because I put down 'doodly'. Thought it was a fab Monday puzzle.
Tuesday or Friday??? I had a hard time with this one, and had to cheat by looking up a number of clues. However, my compliments to Marshal Herrmann. Vowels every other square, across as well as down, is truly brilliant.
25 down: The clue is 'A pop' and the answer is 'each'. Would someone please enlighten me, as I am still in the dark regarding this one. Many thanks!
@Andrzej Absolutely loved your take on food fights in school cafeterias being quintessentially American. I am pretty sure food fights became a thing after the release of the popular film Animal House in 1978, which is, of course, a very American movie! Thanks for your comments. Truly enjoyed reading them.
@David Gropper More like a challenging Tuesday to me, but enjoyable and educational, as you wrote.
The comments section never fails to entertain. It's odd. So many people compared this puzzle to a Thursday puzzle. For me, it was a fairly straight forward Monday puzzle, and I am a person who struggles to fill in anything past Wednesday. In any event, bravo. Thank you for this heady diversion on an otherwise fairly dreary day. Thank you for your efforts. I am truly grateful.
My brain hurts........It was listed as beginner friendly. The theme was absolutely brilliant, and the cafe art as well as 'hard to say' Worcestershire had me slapping my forehead........But of course, this is why I keep coming back. Thank you for the heady distractions during turbulent times. The NY Times crossword is one of life's simple pleasures and I appreciate it very much, indeed.
@Hugh Perhaps Triumph and Tea Party, then?
