Us old folks just scribbled in DRAGNET immediately.
If you happen to know that NECCO were discontinued in 2018 it makes filling in the center of the puzzle difficult.
Finally an answer that separates the old folks from the young in my direction. Even if they managed to fill it in, did they have any idea what a TIN CAN TELEPHONE was? Fond memories.
Give me a break. I figured out there were missing letters but didn’t bother keeping track of the for some cute reveal.
18D so the mountain name reverted but they forgot about the National Park apparently.
I figured the words out but couldn’t make the double rebus connection. It’s easy with twenty-twenty hindsight but pretty hard to get to that. Personally I don’t care for tricks in a crossword.
After all these years of doing these puzzles, all living in general, I am apparently the only one that never heard the term ZEN KOAN. I clearly heard many of them, but never the term. Learn something every day.
I'm clearly not an expert on Hungarian sheepdogs.
I chased around for quite awhile trying to find my mistake only to read herein I needed to change my LINE to dashes. Not my favorite puzzle. I just like crossword puzzles, not theatrics.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the word divvy in print. If I have, it went right by. DIVVIEDUP caused some confusion.
The only time I remember any voice for WILE E COYOTE is at a 5:00 pm shift change between two coyotes and there was possibly an exchange of words. Hardly a MEL BLANC signature voice. But it was a very long time ago.
Before I go on a long trip I indeed charge my TESLA. But I struggled badly trying to figure that word out. Clueless on t-shirts apparently.
A very nice challenge; a significant change of late.
@Anna Wilde I basically agree with you and I typically ignore reading circles when done, but I thought this one was a cut above.
I guess I'm inn the minority. I wouldn't refer to this as "clean and stylish"
I got through this well but no music. Spent a long time trying to find it. Opened iPhone and list mode to look at each word. There I was able to see the ] character where I should have been. Very hard to see on the Mac as the lower part of the character coincided with the box. How I typed ] I will never know.
Finally a challenging puzzle. But with all the great words, a little surprised with GAH. It is in my dictionary but not in my vocabulary.
Who knew there was a Roan Johnson and a RIAN Johnson? And I never had steaner clams so I figured my ILION probably had a variation.
@Jim MCCUNN demographic I think
@John Appleseed that was mine, too. Thanks for the help
The only thing that made the least bit of sense was KITE but PEAKTV was a real stretch for me.
@Anonymous Have you been working back int the archives? I'm in 2012 and those are really nice challenging puzzles with obviously none of today's cultural trivia, but maybe an occasional earlier version.
@Jeremy I'm working on 2012 in the archives. Clearly the puzzles today are waaaaaay easier, maybe with the exception of some current slang stuff.
