Tired of the NY Times forcing all this woke stuff on us. 49D is expecting me to know pronouns? Kidding obviously, I was glad to see PFLAG on here even if I had GLAAD for the longest time instead. I know some French so I appreciate how often that comes up, but it’s nice to see Spanish for a change. Especially given that there are 34x as many Spanish speakers in the US as there are French speakers.
@Fidelio I think it’s that the tongue (synonym for language) is twisted (or scrambled) into the answer. Not that the words themselves are tongue-twisters
A fun puzzle. Was a bit tricked by the theme, especially how it works differently for downs and crosses throughout the grid. I will never understand the angry comments every Thursday and Sunday from people who are shocked that the puzzle is puzzling.
Set my Friday record with my first sub-10 time. Not sure if this one was generally easy or it just all came together for me this week. Really liked the clue for MANDARIN, you could do a whole trivia round where the answers are all spelled from US postal codes.
@Becca the idea of one of those “anti-pronoun” people being upset about the word whom is funny to me
@Katie do you remember slang? It’s back: in pog form
Cute little theme for a Tuesday. I put DUEtS for the Hamilton clue. Finished the puzzle with something wrong. tED down didn’t seem obviously wrong and had to go through every clue looking for my mistake. I’ve never seen Hamilton but I assume those DUELS are also DUEtS? Unless the seconds are singing too.
Pretty clever! I didn’t catch the rebus until the end when it just seemed like the only option. I resisted it because I can’t remember seeing one on a Wednesday before. I briefly tried to figure out the theme and FGIJH wasn’t making much sense so I dropped it until the revealer at the end.
@Ettagale it’s just slang for done. I first heard it around 2005 but don’t really know when/where it started.
