I am so annoyed with how I struggled in the SE corner, and for no good reason. Anyone else second, third, and fourth guess themselves??? Anyway, great puzzle today - really got my adrenaline pumping!
OMG…I stared in frustration at the solved puzzle for about 10 minutes before it hit me like a ton of bricks (or ice)! It made no sense, until it did, which of course made me smile! Great fun for a Thursday morning!
Maybe I’m having a bad morning, but I found the theme rather laborious. I still finished in record time but had to read the column to fully understand the connection, I’d have used the word “clunky”, but Katie below beat me to it!
@Richard G There are clearly enough of us that use - and pay - for the app that we should be afforded the courtesy of having all of the same details as the non-app users! Could they really not figure out how to underline in the clues?
@W johnson Ah yes, being a native of “the ‘Burgh’ and a Pitt alumni, many late night hours were spent in the beloved “O” munching on a hot dog and the best fries in the world trying to stave off the inevitable hangover. We all miss it to this day! 😥
Loved this puzzle, a real head scratcher at first but once the theme hit, it was smooth sailing! Thanks for a fun solve Joe!
Loved, loved, loved this puzzle! Being a Looney Tunes fan all of my life (still watch to this day), once “BEEPBEEP” came into focus, the rest fell like dominoes for me - 53 minutes better than my average! Great puzzle, fun solve!
Did anyone else reading the circled squares “left to right” go straight across the top, then down to the next row, etc.? I knew it was “ELFABA” but the direction was a bit tricky. IMHO at least. Loved the musical btw, likely won’t see the movie however.
@John Dietsch And “SOUTHEAST” was accepted for me, and I too missed the gimmick. And still wondering if I would have ever figured it out before reading Caitlin’s column.
