I enjoyed this puzzle, and solved it pretty quickly - except for the embarrassing amount of time I spent trying to figure out why an iPad was wearing a dress.

I don’t have a specific comment, but I want to add my vote to the thumbs up column. I thought this puzzle was great fun.

Ah yes, the satisfaction of completing a puzzle when you start by not knowing a single answer. Excellent exercise for a Saturday morning.

Every time I think I might try my hand at crossword construction I get wowed by a brilliant offering like this, and I scurry back to reality.

I would’ve done better time-wise if I hadn’t misread etymologist as entomologist, causing me to create a logjam in the NW corner with the word “insects” instead of “origins”. But aside from that, fun puzzle!

Saturday difficulty in Sunday form. Fun for a change, but let’s not make it a habit, ok?

Phew! Took double my average time. NW corner was a killer. Think I’ll take a nap,

Excellent puzzle, if a bit difficult for a Tuesday, and congrats on your acceptance after so many rejections! Your perseverance is admirable. Keep it up!

Based on time to complete, shoulda been a Tuesday. Fun though.

It’s fun to have something thrown out of left field every once in a while. C’mon everyone, it’s just a puzzle! It took me significantly longer to complete than average. Which is a good thing.

Friday was double my average time. Today was less than half. A Saturday puzzle completed in 8 minutes?? Thanks for the break, I guess.

My exclamation on completing this puzzle…or what you wear when jumping out of an airplane?

Whew, tough one! But super satisfying when finally done, even if it was twice my average time.

Nice to know there was a good reason I couldn’t understand the theme - no underlining or parentheses on the app. Kind of surprised the Times couldn’t do better though.

@Tex I’m with you, Tex! Some of us like challenges. If others don’t, let them skip that day. Don’t deprive the rest of us an occasional twist now and then.

@Eddie I also used to skip MTW, but now I do them for time which increases my interest quite a bit. I try to get M in under five minutes, T under 7, and so forth. (Not able to today, it was a little tough for a T!)

@The X-Phile Well, how ‘bout this: the puzzle was not extremely hard for me, but it took a full two minutes longer than my average solving time for a Monday. So I would call it difficult for a Monday puzzle.

@ad absurdum Except….you are wrong about that! The galaxy a long time ago is Star Wars. Star Trek is in the future.
