@Laura To intelligence agencies. "Assets" is common lingo for spies.

@David as a fellow marching band nerd, I was similarly stymied. Apparently the non band nerds think we make oom PAH sounds (or at least the sousaphones do)

@Desert Dweller they gave you the country whose currency results in the modified answer. So to say that there was "no cluing for the modified answer" is just plain wrong.

@Heg Every sunday has a title, it's in the "info" tab (as always)

@Janine they thought DELE needed to be clipped as an abbreviation of delete, not realizing that DELE is specific editing jargon (nor did I)

@Eric Hougland lol I did that at first too!

@Daryl what profanity are you talking about?

@Juan Fedorable if you're playing on the website, the title is clearly stated. If you're playing in app, the title appears on the Info screen (the encircled lowercase i ).

@Ned S you can feed ammunition to firearms and weaponry. In this case, you are feeding TSHIRTs to the TSHIRT cannons.

@Eric Hougland that IS what rice milk is.

@bill yes, hence the ?

@Heidi to be clear, Perez IS the king of mambo, and this is a slight error from the constructors/editors.

@MFSTEVE I didn't know the album either, but surely you're familiar with 24K as a concept (gold purity). Alternatively, you can just count the Ks once the rest of the grid is filled in.

@Bill in Yokohama not really?? Antes aren't part of a round of betting. Blind are forced bets in a round.

@Jay when you spay a kitten, you terminate (in a sense) her ova.

@Kvetchy Kvaddle as kid in the 90s, Zelda sounded appropriately exotic to me! I didn't (still don't?) know any real life examples of a Zelda

@Erica C there's an archaic meaning of "meet" that means suitable or FIT. Think something like in shakespeare: 'Tis meet that they should do honor to their liege lord (or something like that).

@Murhatroid what's the problem with extension and exe?

@BAuskern I didn't know any of those really (except SOJU) but was able to get all of them on crosses.

@jmooser a snarl is a traffic jam or backup. Could be a regional thing.

@Mary Wilson that's why Tin has the symbol Sn!

@Ron and also with you!

@Andii I agree! Good thing this puzzle was explained by 62 Across!

@Ray the rebus EQUALS also works. Or are you telling me iphone users can't rebus?

@Jim an expression, perhaps, but not a linear expression.

@LordBottletop usually the acceptable entries are: Full rebus Both entries separated with a slash Either initial letter

@Charlie Newton Alas, polo shirts have gone the way of xerox machines and kleenexs. I think the clue is reasonable as is. PCP is definitely an initialism I've used, and often when I move to a new city it's one of the first people I'll try to get set up with.

@Gil Hivens it's literally PA SS AG ES that are secret!

@Noah how are B and N not words?

@Cindy Lou and these May clues certainly do!

@Michael Dunham Because the instructions to leave them blank only applies for Android users.

@Crevecoeur "step right up step right up! It's the world's ugliest puppy! And also, the man with two knees!" The person yelling that is a barker.

@Bill so interesting, the NE and SE fell easily but I had a hell of a time finding my way in the NW and SW. Plenty of Naticks for me!

@NMarie I absolutely had Arial as well!

@Steve AXE was a perfectly cromulent entry; there was no [big fella] clue

@MC all words are made up; your examples aren't particularly more so then others.

@Crevecoeur the WIIU was the successor console to the WII.
