Echoing many others, the theme is fun, but it's absolutely impossible to see what clue I am on in the mobile version! Doesn't matter if I'm in dark or light mode or how bright/dim the screen is.

Shiny little platters (43A)?? That was a poor clue. And along with 38D and 39D made that section impossible for me to solve!

A fun theme today! Not sure I'd call it a Wednesday puzzle at a breezy 6:35 completion, but they tend to be the most unpredictable for me in terms of difficulty.

This was not Monday level. I'm pretty consistent with Mondays under 5:00, but this one got me to 8 and a half! After my first pass on Across clues, I had many less clues completed than usual. Still completed, but felt more like a Tuesday or a mild Wednesday to me!

A new Monday record for me, 3:43!
