Thursdays are usually my favorites but I HATED this one. I finished it without understanding it. And once my husband got it and explained it I just thought it was kind of silly. The first letter of a word does not necessarily refer to that word. This one was a fail for me.

This was my fastest Saturday solve ever. I'm not sure how!

I finished the puzzle but embarrassingly did not understand the theme until I read this column. Wow!

@Darren I got it pretty easily. Finished the puzzle in just under 13 minutes.

My fastest Friday solve ever. Loved "cellular data plan." Also had never heard of POG or DARK ACADEMIA but the crossings helped.

Thinking it was spelled CROC really threw me off!

I love "course catalog" but I wish ABECEDARIA had made it into the puzzle... I'm a school librarian!

This was shockingly easy for me and one of my fastest Sunday solve times - I don't know why.

Chugged along nicely, with some thought, until the bottom right. Took a break, came back and it clicked. Tough one. Took me longer than my Friday average.
