Not at all pleased with this Monday's puzzle. Don't pull your sneaky tricks on a Monday puzzle. Please. Makes me feel discouraged about continuing on throughout the week.

A terrible puzzle.

I hated this puzzle. Of course, had I read the notes ahead of time I would have figured it out more easily, but when I sit down to complete a crossword puzzle, I expect it to be a letter-specific puzzle, with horizontal and vertical entries. Rebuses are challenging and stimulating, but I'm a crossword puzzle purist and find rebuses annoying. Besides, how can you even write all the letters in one tiny square?

I love the progression of difficulty of the puzzles as the week proceeds. The boost I get from a Monday, carries over to Tuesday, and then to Wednesday. By Thursday the boost has run out - I loathe the rebus - and then really enjoy the challenge of Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I enjoy the easy-mode Fridays, as well. Please don't change the sequence.

Totally wicked - ? RAD ? What age of solver are you directing the puzzle to? Way too slangy.

I know the comments are supposed to be about crosswords, which I do every day, I but had some confusion re: the spelling bee. I reached genius at 24 words, where a total of 39 were to be found. I did have the pangram but it would't take any other words after that. Is there a problem with the program? I know you should be able to enter words until you reach the puzzle's limit.
