Thanks, John, for your work with endangered species. Thanks to both of you for a truly enjoyable crossword. Crunchy, but very satisfying. Loved the clever theme!

Congrats on a great debut, Harry Zheng! Lovely way to start the New Year. Hope to see more from your young mind. Happy New Year to all.

Oh Lordy! But that was wicked fun. Thank you for that very enjoyable puzzle!

Great debut, Mr. Matz! Quite challenging, but lots of fun. Even though I am more than 50 years older, your puzzle was still in my wheelhouse. Wishing you success in all your future endeavors and hope to meet you in this space again.

Great debut, Mr Curry! Really enjoyable, especially for a Thursday. Looking forward to seeing more puzzles from you.

Thank you for a lovely and fun debut, Margi. Really enjoyable and satisfying Monday puzzle. As a fellow retiree who does all the word games daily, I admire your creativity in taking on puzzle construction! Congratulations. Hope to hear from you again!
