0:49 and I blame McDonald’s: as soon as I saw the clue for 5A referencing a “grimacing face emoji” my mind went to Grimace shakes and shit, and my rhythm was busted. Damnit mcd hah. And then 6A is also hard to solve without any crosses, another trap that slowed me down.

Yeah decently fun and quick solve
0:38 here, putting “tat” as 8A took some fixing hah.
0:48, stumbled over a few clues for too long
Ok back at it. We had company staying with us so I kinda took Friday and Saturday off from xwords and then did the Sunday late last night. Here’s hoping to kick off another complete week!
Nice! And annoying that it went weird on you.
That’s kinda cool, I’ve never watched someone else narrating their solve, I checked it out for a few mins and it’s interesting to see and hear someone else’s methodology and thought process.
That was a fun puzzle with a couple good aha moments with the themers.
Nice work! You asked me, so I should return the favor: how long have you been doing NYT crosswords? What got you going in the hobby? Cheers on a good solve.
0:18! Got it with just the across clues! Best time in a while, but I’ll be honest - I wasn’t doing the minis regularly, and only started doing them daily since these threads asking for times. So, thanks for the encouragement LCP!
Did anyone else do the Wordle and the Xword today?
spoiler
I wonder if it has happened before that the wordle answer is also an answer in the crossword? This was my first time noticing it.
