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 🥳
Sigh, this masters thing ain’t cutting it and I really am bored riding the BART. I know, I’ll whip up a Friday themeless crossword with a wide open grid. Let’s throw some Latin grammar in there just for funnzies. Hecka good times! Count me impressed.
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.
@Chris Let me help out with GROOM…as in someone who works in a (horse) stable and grooms horses.
What the heck?! 12 dashes?! This is going to be rough. Made NYT Cannellini and Swiss Chard this week…WHITE BEANS, got it! Fun puzzle, and hit my SWEET SPOT 😊
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 . 🚿🍺
@Johnny Boy P Check again. You’ve got the across and down back flipped
@Sandy I hope constructors never look at the comments, because there’s no winning with this crowd. This puzzle was very enjoyable and each theme answer made me smile. Happy Sunday ☀️
It’s always ENYA! Oh wait, there she is 😊
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.
@Andrew Butt-dials/ Booty calls is the “Clue of the year” (see comment below), yet you’re offended by Austin Powers?? Make it make sense, they’re both referring to the same idea.
When I was very young… Santana “Oye Como Va”. Better know as “I Want My Cocoa Puffs”
@Patrick J. When I toured the British Parliament, the guide explained that the red lines on the carpet in the House of Commons were two sword-lengths apart, so members couldn’t reach each other. So, apparently, “toe the line” was once very good advice 😂 (however, this may be refuted).
I’m currently reading Stephen Fry’s Mythos and having exactly the same thought process. I suppose it makes as much sense as Greek mythology.
@Phil I went with MND and RNB first. Then tried the rebus, thinking it was a nice little rebus. Nope. Really? Let’s try an ampersand. I think if this were in a big puzzle I would have been frustrated, but I like it in the midi.
