I love when I figure out a theme and genuinely laugh and smile - today was that day. Especially since I knew the "real" answer to 47A, and was just not connecting how it could possibly fit, then finding the revealer, I laughed out loud. Great puzzle, one of my favorites in a long time.
My first time ever completing a Thursday without using hints. Caught onto the theme, and away we went! Only took about 4 years of dedicated play haha
A very crunchy Tuesday for me, and not just because of MUSELI and OATY being two clues that gave me a run for my money. Anyone else have a tough go with the NW corner? I think I like to forget JLO exists, and she never crossed my mind as an option. Nevertheless, we got it done, it just took a lot longer than usual!
Disclaimer: I’m crabby from a long weekend and a prolonged disdain from the state of the world, but this was tough for a Monday. Some obscure proper nouns, a few naticks (for me) and a revealer clue found late in the down clues, which if it came earlier or in the crosses could have kept me from second guessing English as my first language. No hate to the constructor, I’m just grumpy and this particular Monday puzzle didn’t help set my week off in a good mood. Thanks for entertaining my gripe, fellow NYC crossword solvers!
@Logan the two theme entries aside that you're referencing, what got me was two NFL answers and two related clues with telepathy/mindreading. I actually had ESP for the first telepathy clue, realized it was wrong, but then to my surprise it fit a few clues down... I thought I had to have erred at some point with all four of those examples, but instead it all worked, which threw me for a loop.
