Had never done a rebus before. Or knew what one was. But I knew something was amiss. But when I did figure it out it was fun (and a little easier than usual)

Thought this was tougher than a typical Monday, but maybe my THINKINGCAP was too tight

The clues/answers and theme felt more tortured than usual. Oh well, there's always tomorrow

Very enjoyable Lots of great words IMPETUS, ARDENT, USURPS The STUB / STUD symmetry was a nice touch

This was an impressive crossword. I enjoyed the theme, revealer and general wordplay Must be difficult to strike the right balance between easy and challenging for a Monday, but I think it was perfect today

Very Kool

After 2 mins: "This is easy, this is easy" After 15 mins: "Why you hate me so much?" :)

Nabisco unofficially owns the Crossword

Breaking my streak out of protest! (not really, but today's puzzle was not to my taste)

I needed to drink a GIM-LAY after that

Very cool. The rare monday I went very slow as I was enjoying it so much.

I always thought the plural of lacuna was LACUNAE

I am generally not a fan of sound entries but I thought the OOHS / AAH cross was pretty funny

Challenging but fun. More of these please

SHING A SHONG OF SHIXPENCE Great puzzle

I really enjoyed this one (ie got the theme early, no lookups, fastest Wednesday) :)

I was wondering what a PADLEG was until I got the BOP

This was a lot of fun especially as a big FERNET, CINNAMON BREAD and CABSAV guy myself

Completed this a lot quicker than a typical Friday. Not saying it easier than usual but much like the plot to Slumdog Millionaire, sometimes you just know the answers

I, for one, was UP/DOWN for this puzzle. Very nifty

I find it amusing the Tricky Clues section features all the easy ones (for me). I was stumped elsewhere

I often get spoonerism and malapropism confused so I'm happy I didnt FALL FLAP for 30 minutes

For me, this was a relatively straightforward Thursday. Only got stuck for a while on NASTYHABITS thinking it was DAILYHABITS

After struggling yesterday today was a breeze. Though I would swear I was more of a Dracula guy than a Wicked guy if you asked me on Monday

Has ORA ever been "Part of a New Zealander's greeting"?

Enjoyed this one again. Only took 2 hours (I forgot to pause it before putting my phone in my pocket)

I dont have a lot of time generally, so I complete the NYT crossword on the go - bashing in answers in the spare seconds I have. This strategy has been unsuccessful for the nth Saturday in a row :(

Me to yesterday's crossword: "You know, this means war"

Enjoyable puzzle. Found the last two a bit gimmicky for my taste so this was a return to form

Struggled a bit. Never heard of JUGBAND before that I was convinced my down crosses were wrong

I liked this a lot. Not much more to say I also like everyone else's letter bank anagrams. Bravo all

It's Enrico Palazzo!
