This was a fun and well designed puzzle! It wasn’t a rebus or poorly edited puzzle. The “trick” was literally in the puzzle title. And it came to me from the crosses with ROGUE and IGER. The ———— , which create a LINE, are the only solution. LINE should not be accepted, nor should a rebus. In my humble, average-solver opinion. Happy New Year 🥳

We recently had trouble with all of these. No internet meant I couldn’t work or watch TV, and our digital lives came to a screeching halt. The culprit? A protected bird species had built a nest on the tower, and a specialist had to be called in. So there we were, defeated by a bird with a nest and excellent legal representation. 🐦

Let’s-a go! I knew before I even started the puzzle that the hate-o-meter was going to be to the max. Geez, people. It’s just a game.

I received a huge hint to 17D. As I was reading it my husband was listening to a story about the release of the new Led Zeppelin documentary. Got it.

Well, that song will be stuck in my head all morning. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Cute puzzle.

Oof, that was a bit tough. And then it wasn’t. And then it was. And then it wasn’t. Good, fun puzzle. I had to look up a couple of the proper names (and now feel out of touch). But everything else fell into place. iMac was my fave 🤩

Fun Saturday. The GAMs got me, though. GAM came with the crossings, but I then went down the blow hole to learn more, who knew? And GAMAY was a lookup, and now added to my “everything I know about wine I learned the NYT crossword” list.

I just had a SHOWERBEER two days ago after working in the Florida heat and humidity for too long. It was more than delicious . 🚿🍺

I really loved this puzzle! It is so clever, and what a grid!! But opportunity lost at 83D, I was really looking for PISH POSH.
