    Loved it!!
    One criticism: Too many fresh and interesting entries. Have you considered making your crossword duller?
    • kurtalert 馃20:15聽路聽2024-07-02T19:05:26.667Z
      Big challenge, thank you!

        Felt like just the right number of fresh and interesting entries to me - great puzzle!

          nice! 4D is the only thing that felt potentially green-painty to me

            I think I would have to agree. Good fill though! I especially liked ONEWAYTRAVEL.

              This was challenging but fun! Loved the central triple stack in particular. Only 21D and 26A struck me as mildly "phony" but there were a lot of others that were genuinely fresh and interesting. Most of the difficulty for me was the tricky clues, but those are also what made it a good challenge! Look forward to more.

                Excellent puzzle -- more please! I'd be proud of that remark from the Times.
