Me too! Clever - oh, and it was in the title for those who had the wisdom to look.

I'm Getting Ahead Of Myself

Hot Breakfast (Meta)

Whew! I didn't think I'd manage the downs-only, but I kept getting just one more, and then I had enough to make it worth trying. Fun! I actually do say, "It is I," but I've yet to use the contraction. :-)

Savory Themeless

RIP to the SATII. Permanently removed after COVID. Great puzzle!

Is 1A an Over The Garden Wall reference? Took me just a touch by surprise but happy to see it!

Mini III

Midterms

This is elegant - it didn't quite "connect" with me... until suddenly it did :).

I love these Sunday morning challenges, since ny brain can surely use the jump-start for a new week!

Got the solution method as I was doing the grid, then really got the solution method.
As an aside, I won't mention the two alternatives I entered into 20A when I had only the first letter before entering the rather boring correct answer.

Another great puzzle, Will. Enjoyed the "aha" moment!

Super fun -- took me a while to figure out what was going on!

Nice intermediate level puzzle.  

HEHEHE

Hey Will, enjoyed the meta! Thanks for keeping the rating system. This one was rated spot on.

The more I thought about this one, the more I liked it.  These are great examples which show that the relation "is a synonym of" is not transitive -- something I had never explicitly thought about before.

Go Between

19A made me smile! I also appreciated the iZombie reference

Sunday Themeless

I had never heard of Burger TIME so that one stopped me short. But I love this grid art!!

Ah yes, Burger Time. A very silly game I probably spent way to much time playing.

Fun grid shape, especially when I figured out those last two boxes!  Some of the clues were tricky but I did manage to figure it out

I am so sorry my comment somehow posted three times!

This was the best! I am not a very good solver but when there theme I connect to I feel awesome!

Haha! So glad to hear it. Hope it brought back good memories. :)

An Afternoon At The Arcade

Let's Make this a Bit Trickier

loved it! particularly loved the themed answers and the little extras like 1/5A and 52/57A too)

Clever theme, great crossings, fun question marks, and two Q's to boot! Very nice.

Changing Day By Day

Nice one! Ooo that clue for ES is devious 😈

Merely Playing

Woo nice one! That clue for ORBIT was fun and very tricky - almost didn't get it

Itty-Bitty Mini #4

Nice one! I figure I got about half, maybe. I appreciate having the explanations in the blog post!

Thanks Mike! Feedback always appreciated! :)

Just a Cryptic #1

Awesome! The only one lyric I knew was SOUL, so that song was playing in my head the whole time - loved it! 🐦

I can confirm that you don't need to know any lyrics to solve it.

I also only knew Soul and then picked around from there.

I knew SOUL and BAG because I haven’t listened to any new stuff 😂

Darn, I was hoping to make this myself, but great job and execution! Love me some TMBG references, as you know.

The world would only be a better place with more TMBG crosswords! Do it!

Conversely, I can confirm that you can solve it if you know all lyrics

This Might Be a Crossword

Rush Job

Very nice - OLDMONK sounds like something I should try!

of all things, why a movie about a KAREN?

October 14

Homecoming

What a way to make a living...

Nice one! I almost worked it but HAIM / HIDE did me in 😂

1:01! Helps that 5a is an Aussie ex-soap star.

The Turtle Moves

Hopefully after finishing this, you’ll always remember the difference!

Nice puzzle! And yes I think this will help 😊

Mini - Coverups

Very nice! There were a few areas I had to do some strategic guessing (notably PALP/ACIS), but the themers were so great that most of the grid just fell into place

Like the theme. Some strange ones -- 62A, e.g. -- but overall a good one
