Although there have been rebus puzzles that have caused me to quit in frustration, I don't hate them- especially now that I consider myself a seasoned solver and know to look for them on Thursday. I thought this one was a nice and easy way for folks to learn how to solve them- Tuesday difficulty with Thursday construction; there are A LOT of entry points with common answers that clearly indicate there is a trick to be sussed out: Sister Act Star Jazz's James Steve of The Office King of the Faries Spanish Grandmother If you're new to this: welcome to rebuses! They can be very challenging but very rewarding, and they show up fairly regularly on Thursdays. The haters gonna hate. Whatever- I really enjoyed this one!

This was the least fun I've had solving a puzzle in a long time. I am glad some of you liked it- it was a complete slog for me. EVENER? THRILLS? DDS? I could not disagree with Caitlin more: the cluing was about as elegant as an ORANG.

Tough but fun- little slower than average, especially after flying through the entire north section of the grid, but a satisfying solve. One nit to pick: I felt the wording of 56a was odd, maybe a miss by the editors; surely that was supposed to be "sites", no? In the context of this clue, "sights" just feels like a reach. Maybe just my personal preference. Either way, great puzzle.

Hunted for the typo / error long enough to finally give up and scan through the key. KOnA was my stumble (tumble) in an otherwise quick solve- enjoyed the puzzle, thanks.
