Chiming in from New Zealand. My sister spent the past two weeks visiting me here where we played Spelling Bee and Wordle together every morning and she tacked a giant crossword puzzle to the wall to do with my kids (who have been inspired by her to love and solve and create puzzles) and they also completed a 1000-piece Frankenstein jigsaw puzzle together. We celebrated her birthday last week, and of course the cake décor was a nod to (part of) this puzzle’s theme. I dropped her off at the airport yesterday afternoon … she was still airborne when History Course was initially published! Glad she has returned home to see her puzzle in print, and to receive well-deserved kudos. We have always been a puzzle-loving family and huge fans of the NYT Sunday puzzle, so this is all just so special. I couldn’t be more proud of Miranda!
@The X-Phile Middlemarch is a wee town a few hours from me, so an original idea was driving my sister and family there to celebrate birthday and puzzle. But a four-hour road schlep for the sake of a namesake was putting things through the complicator, so we opted to stay put. Your middle guess is the warmest. To riff on Caitlin’s caption: you can’t spell buttercream without b-r-u-t-e. (Plunging the knife into the cake at serving-time turned the theme into an interactive experience.)
@Tristan Credit where credit is due: I first heard this phrase many years ago from my bro-in-law Tim. p.s. I like the word legendarily.
@Miranda I should get a prize for the biggest coattail ride. xo
