Beautiful puzzle! It was a much faster solve than most Saturdays for me. I really enjoyed TENSE/TENTS (a very early fill) and with just a few crosses the SHERLOCK/DEERSTALKER anchored quite a bit also. Some of the left edge had me picking at things a while, but we got there without peeking at Wordplay. A great week of puzzles to be enjoying on vacation!
Pineapple and Olive is a fantastic vegetarian pizza. Not without its detractors, of course. I adored the clue for Prophecy, although a Pion is no particle I’m familiar with. An quick and painless Friday, to be sure. No cheating at all!
@Dan Ten minute solve, 14 minutes below average for me. Since it’s 11:29PM, I appreciate the breeze.
@Eddie Thought: is it perhaps possible that disproportionately many words terminate these ways? Best, -E
