Finally reached a 1000 day streak, felt like I was in the 900s for ages! This was the perfect 1000th puzzle, lots of fun 'aha!' moments - thanks Natan :)

This one took me 50% longer than my average time, but I loved it anyway - very satisfying once I finally solved it!

Enjoyed it overall, but agree with others that the highlighting should've worked both ways (not the fault of the constructor, I assume). Also, OREL x LEHAR and SNERD x DARIEN were very tricky crosses, in my opinion!

I think this is the fifth time Ayo has been mentioned in the crossword this year. As a fan, very cool to see :)

A poet crossed with a baseball manager? A sportscaster crossed with a director? Ooft. Fun puzzle though, despite the tricky spots!

I enjoyed the cross between FEARLESS and EVERMORE, iykyk 🫶

TIL you can zoom in on crosswords on the NYT Games app 😅

More than double my average, wow. Very satisfying once finished, though!

This puzzle is so cool and must've taken so much planning. Love the animation, too!

Ooh, that was a tricky one (especially for a non-American, I think). Good fun!

This one made me smile :) Liked it a lot.

Me, reading: 'My friend Edgar Wright'? That's interesting, I wonder who wrote this column... RIAN JOHNSON? What a pleasant surprise!

Loved it, loved it, loved it. Excellent wordplay, and my 8th fastest Saturday solve! Great crossword - thank you, Katie!

Feels like we've had quite a few themed puzzles without a revealer recently. Not a bad thing, just interesting!
