I'm disappointed in this one after past April Fools' puzzles. Of course, it's hard to live up to the expectations you've set year after year. I just didn't find this one all that funny.

This may be my favorite puzzle from my favorite constructor. The grid was intriguing, the fill was fresh, the clues were just puzzling enough, and the frustration level was just enough to make me feel satisfied upon solving. Fantastic!!

I LOVE Ezersky puzzles! And this one was super fun!

I had the hardest time figuring out the last picture clue. The beak is more like a parrot than a HORNBILL, so it threw me for a loop. I did wonder what that thing was on top of the parrot's head...

I had the format with the big keyboard too, and also Wordle and Spelling Bee are behaving like the mobile version (on Chrome). It started yesterday evening - at first, I couldn't even log into the Games site; it thought I didn't have a subscription, but when I clicked on "subscribe", it said I was already subscribed, so I was in an endless loop. Then, when I was finally able to log in, all the games were the mobile version. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Nice puzzle, but I'm not a fan of a larger grid on a Monday. That's the one day I aim for a particular time and try to improve it every week, and when the grid is larger (even by one column) the times just aren't comparable. I would have loved it on a Tuesday!
