@David Connell I couldn’t agree more. A Saturday should be a SATURDAY. Sam never makes it easy, and I’m here for it!
That was a fun one — and who else is 🤯 about “Waldo” being a banned book? But then again, fewer things surprise me these days… 🙄🙄🙄
Proof positive that yesterday’s puzzle was a “Saturday” in terms of difficulty: I solved today’s in 13 minutes. 😆
I’m one of those people who reads nothing about a puzzle until I’ve completed it, so it was a great relief to see that there was an update made — I did it on the app (on my phone) and though I solved it under my average time, I was completely clueless (pun very much intended) about the theme and figured there must be *something* I had missed. 😆 Regardless, very fun puzzle and like many others who commented here, it brought a much-needed smile!
@Richard it wasn’t just you — and I’m in California, where skorts are typically for “ath,” and snooze buttons are hit (sometimes more than once) when the alarm goes off.
@Robert Nailling I feel very validated reading your comment. I had all but the NW done for a WHILE. 🥵 Was just explaining the increasing difficulty to my bff and told her that today’s felt like a Saturday to me. Cheers!
I feel very validated reading the comments on this one! 😅 Probably the most lookups I’ve ever done — but a streak is a streak!
@Amy I did the exact same thing! It’s always fun to know I’m not alone. ☺️
@Maggie - I had exactly the same experience! That first taste of coffee must have served as an inspiration.
@Patrick I had the same first guess. It was the vertical “Somali” that made me realize I had to be off.
I finished last night before bed and woke up this morning still thinking about it and chuckling at my generational connection to both Manic Panic (used “Fire Red” my freshman year of college” and “Tik Tok Dance,” both of which I got without bristling. Fun puzzle — and I’ll definitely be hitting Chelsea Hardware next time I’m in NYC to check out that matryoshka collection!
@Tara LOL! I did the exact same thing.
