- Dow Jones 9s · 2022-05-09T06:26:23.880ZFun grid and clever meta !! Good job, Cap'n Rick
- whimsy 13:46 · 2022-05-09T14:00:15.948ZVery nice! Saw two "groupings," wondered which was in play, realized I didn't have to choose!
- Thanks Claudia! My wife actually gave me the idea for this one.
- Hector 🤓8:13 · 2022-05-09T14:37:45.925ZFun! Thank you.
- DIS 🤓5:29 · 2022-05-09T14:41:17.114ZGreat puzzle -- nicely laid out.
- woozy 🤓13:57 · 2022-05-09T15:53:16.744ZHa! Just 'Ha!'
- Laura M 15:03 · 2022-05-09T19:27:49.899ZFun meta! The grid stymied me in multiple places though :-)
- Thank, Laura. Yeah, the themers put a lot of constraints on the fill this time.
- Wendy S HeadinHome 🤓1:52 · 2022-05-09T21:46:05.083ZTook me a little bit to realize the right side was “hound” synonyms… since SAFARI and PURSUIT are also cars! very clever puzzle with no googling required… thanks!
- I thought I'd be searching for dog breeds or names and was excited when I saw PUG backwards in 45D. The real mechanism was a lot more fun. Thanks, Rick!
- Excellent!! You'd think I'd have recognized the first "half" quicker, given a certain recent WSJ puzzle. But you'd be wrong LOL
- Teamdoubletow 10s · 2022-05-11T09:48:15.782ZThanks for the fun puzzle!
- Cindy Heisler 2s · 2022-05-11T11:08:23.753ZShould have gotten it just from the cars in the grid!! Sometimes I make them harder than they are.
- And don't forget the additional Chevy in the title! Thanks for solving, Cinny.
- Cindy Heisler 2s · 2022-05-11T23:10:33.517ZI had forgotten all about Celebrity being a car! I was wondering what the clue was in the title.
- Carolyn 2s · 2022-05-11T17:33:25.286ZFun puzzle. I got distracted by the other Chevrolets in the grid so it took a bit longer than it should have! Thanks a bunch.
- madhatter5 2s · 2022-05-11T19:46:55.836ZClever as always. Thanks Capn!
- Bird Lives 3s · 2022-05-12T00:01:53.221ZWith the Chevys and MISS USA, solvers of a certain age might have been tempted to think the answer was Dinah Shore.
- Perhaps another meta for another day, Jay. Thanks for solving!
- Bbaack 17:12 · 2022-05-12T03:45:00.759ZFun one, thanks!
- Darth 🤓15:19 · 2022-05-23T16:55:48.835ZLate to the game because I was (ironically) on a "European Vacation". lol
