@Jacqui J I feel like this is going to be one crossword people remember--like "remember that one puzzle with the hole in one from a few years ago?"

@Steve L thanks for sharing that great observation! What a delight of a puzzle.

@dutchiris please go read the actual lawsuit documentation--it's fascinating and very apparent that when it goes to trial, Baldoni will win against both Lively and the NYT. The lawsuit gives an interesting look behind the scenes of reputation management, and it's quite shocking the amount of work that they put into defaming Baldoni. Please look at all the primary source materials before making a decision. It's really something

@Dan Sullivan I loved it too!!! Hated the beginning because the fill was so hard, but figuring out the "butts" that were hanging out was just a moment of pure amusement and delight It was so creative--thank you Puzzle Constructor! ps. I personally would not mind an easier fill next time tho as long as the theme is as interesting and different as this. I suspect a lot of the complainers are people who just looked up the theme and didn't get to have the joy of figuring it out

@Steve L like me! And I loved it!!! Hated it in the beginning, but figuring out the "butts" was so delightful it made up for all the frustration

@Beth I do wish the app would accept rebuses for these even tho it's not strictly correct

@Fact Boy fascinating, thanks for the tidbit!

@Bill in Yokohama those crossings were quite annoying imo! Not an enjoyable puzzle this one

@John Carson hahah that took me too long to get! I suppose I was stuck in crossword mode (Hint to anyone else that's struggling, read it aloud)
