I was thrown for a while by my mistaken BESTSELLERS instead of BANNEDBOOKS
When I see that Sam Ezersky is the contructor, I know that I need to settle in. It took me three times my average solving time.
If you did not enjoy today's crossword, then you don't enjoy crosswords. Also, let me be the first (today) to ask, "When will the PuzzleMania winners be announced?" (or did I miss it?)
@Mu One did not need to leave the squares blank. One cold fill in the doubled letters as a rebus. The brilliance is that it works either way.
Very clever use of the rebuses. I could predict before I got to the comments that this would be divisive. :-)
@Amber Per the revealer, you need to "square" the rebus TWO to make FOUR, then the down answer is YEAR O[F OUR] LORD.
@MFSTEVE This comment made me laugh out loud
@Aidoch Ross To my knowledge, they still have not appeared. Despite lots of folks asking about it the the Wordplay comments are a week, there has been no mention from NYT. (Or I've missed it.)
Will we ever learn the winners of PuzzleMania? (or maybe I missed the announcement?)
