Especially fun for a Tuesday puzzle!

This was really fun. Not hard but just enjoyable from start to finish. Never saw PLOSIVE before, and I thought the arcade game was WHAC(K)AMOLE.

I still didn't understand the theme even when I got GRANDRAPID. Not until MAKINGANIMPACT. Not too hard after that, but this was a really fun, memorable crossword. More of these please!

Fastest solve ever, but fun, fun, fun. Hadn't thought of Augie Doggie since I was about 10.

Very clever. The clues to the numbers were easy to figure out but it took me a break and a re-look to figure out that x meant “multiply.” Duh!

Not hard, but I only got the theme—ships and shapes—after I solved the puzzle, so not so much fun with this one.

Answer to 49 Across is incorrect. The agency that funds PBS - the Corporation for Public Broadcasting - is an independent federal agency and not part of the NEA.

I got no clue from the theme but managed to solve the puzzle anyway. Lots of fun and the reveal was terrific. I think it would have been harder if I had gotten the meaning of the theme.

Hardest part was not getting assuaged by SWAGE.

Not difficult but I didn’t get the digits part of the theme until I solved the puzzle. My fingers are thin, though, and my typing errors are result of typing too fast. So my first guess was onefingersyndrome until I realized that didn’t fit the down clues.

Really fun today. Loved the anagrams, especially the Italian (or Italian-American?) one.

Easier than usual, but I didn't get the 007 image until I solved the puzzle. Guess that makes me sorta clueless.

Not hard to solve, but I never figured out the theme.

Easy , actually too easy, once I connected theme and solution. Record time for me: 24:38.
