Honeslty don't know what people are complaining about. I thought this was a fun and impressive puzzle, especially that all of the compressed words are functional crossword answers. CANTE(V)EN, GALL(E)ON, G(Y)RATE? I think this is a masterfully built puzzle.

This was a fun Thursday! I couldn't make sense of the theme until I finally solved around ARTOIS/BARHOP and sussed out that is "should" be BISHOP.

Ugh, I was stuck so long cause, not knowing 2D I was convinced that the builders of pyramids were "CAN ARTISTS", like the designers of grocery store displays 🤦🏻

I blazed through this one but it felt fun, plenty of things I didn't know off the top of my head but no quarrelsome corners where I couldn't crack the code. Good job!

I thought this was a fun puzzle, balanced with just enough challenge. I definitely had to suss out TURFTOE, ATAHUALPA and LARRYS, and i like the non-LOTR hint for ORC. Well done.

3:23! A new personal best!

A fun one! 6-Down is a TIL for me

21:32! I think that's a new PB for Sunday, but as a diehard King fan I feel like I had an unfair advantage
