Meh. I get it, but I wasn't into it. The theme just seems so random. This one wasn't for me.
I'm so sorry to hear about Arjun.
Wow! Tricky and fun. Really enjoyed this one. Thank you, Ryan!
Such a clever puzzle! I wanted TOAST for GOODS, thanks to 6A. I wanted LEO at 37A instead of 41D. There were so many little misdirections like that throughout. Very well designed and a lot of fun!
Very nice one! This one was a little tricky for a Tuesday, I thought, but excellent!
This was such a cute one! I'm intrigued by what the original gimmick may have been. Hopefully we'll still get to see it in a future puzzle!
I knew a lot of the big ones right out the gate, but OATEN threw me for a loop!
Cute! This one came together quickly, but still had a couple of tricky points. I enjoyed it!
Tricky, but doable and fun! This puzzle was so well designed! I loved all the echoing clues.
Given the timing of this puzzle, I was looking for egg-themed clues, but figure it out pretty quickly once I finished the SMILE. Nice chewy one. (Is POETRIES a word?)
Happy birthday, Joe! This was a fun one! My quickest Friday ever!
Nice chewy one! I really enjoyed it. The circles were a pretty ingenious device. Very clever!
Lol at the Tony Hawk entry!
Tough one! I had to walk away and sleep on it. Finally changed the S to Z in INEZ and figured it out!!
@Wayne C I loved that they went for OREO COOKIE instead of just OREO. It threw me off the scent!
A very fast Friday for me (fastest ever), but I really enjoyed the fill. I thought the longer entries were somehow more accessible than usual, curious what others thought!
@Suzzzanne I always remember there's a tricky E in there somewhere. Fortunately for me, that was my last letter to fill, so I knew where to put it!
Can someone explain 55D SAW to me? I'm feeling a little dense.
Wow, I bean my Saturday average by nearly an hour with this one! I connected quickly with the longer fill answers, otherwise this would have been much tougher.
@Shawn Same! It felt like a lot of the entries were geared toward the millennial age group. I'm wondering if the older solvers felt the same.
@Brenda *Sam's. Thank you, Sam!
@Tracy K I first came across the phrase when The Museum of English Rural Life posted their Absolute Unit of a sheep! He's worth a look, if you feel like googling.
I got the current clue more quickly, but I would have gotten HUNDO P too!
I still don't get DUE from "Directly." I'm sure there's a usage I'm missing. Directly as in soon? "He'll be along directly." "He's due at any moment." Seems like a stretch.
I'll go with the BTS Army. The KISS ARMY is getting up there!
@Kelly Burgess if you're on the app, hit the button with the dots.
@Asher "metal" like "heavy metal."
Am I missing something? I've completed the puzzle and didn't get happy music or an alert that I have something wrong. The clock is just continuing to tick. Is there an extra step or something on this puzzle, or is it a glitch?
@Robby usually it pops up with a message saying that you have an error. It's weird that it didn't!
