I guess I’m in the minority here—I thought this theme was a real stretch. To come up with the phrase “money changes everything” (not exactly am every day phrase) then to figure out that each themed answer contains ‘all’ which is a synonym for everything and then to replace ‘all’ with the currency of the stated nation in the clue is asking quite a lot. I finished the puzzle but never understood the premise until I came here. Never had that “aha!” moment a good Thursday puzzle provides.

Like so many others, I just loved this puzzle!

I think ultimately this puzzle is a failure because I didn’t know the theme as I was working it, the theme never occurred to me after I finished it and I really didn’t care. It was entirely missing the aha moment in addition to having some truly awful crosswordese (which many others have already mentioned).

Impressive construction and fun to solve—well done!

Not a Monday puzzle level of difficulty. Some really bad clues here

AISHA and SOLOMON NORTHUP have no place in a Tuesday puzzle. ROTO is also questionable.

Mukbangs crossing Iga was appalling editing.

Fun puzzle but the phrase is not “return tray tables.”

Never heard of a MOMAGER before.
