This was so tricky and fun! Thanks for the heads up about the rebus. I’m just a crossword baby so I would have had no idea otherwise.
Thanks for the rebus warning! Really enjoying these, becoming more of a crossword person each week.
Where!!
i’m going to tell you where the rebus business is happening so avert the eyeballs if you don’t wanna know

the two (!) light blue shaded squares are where you’ll have more than one letter to enter
Lol this was supposed to say “whee” because I was delighted by the rebus and my overall ability to complete the puzzle in under 11 minutes but autocorrect got me
9min 52 seconds! Thanks for the rebus warning, and I loved it! this is the first time i’ve really been getting into crosswords
I also appreciated the rebus heads up! I’ve never come across them before and I’m curious to know how often they’re used elsewhere. Are they usually intended for the kind of harder crosswords that you would do intentionally rather than casually?
I didn’t know a rebus was a thing? So without that hint I would have been stuck forever.
This was fun! I love learning crossword stuff in a safe space such as this.
Wasn’t aware of the existence of rebi in the world! Makes me wonder about unsolved paper crosswords past.🤔 This was fun and cute!💟
2 minutes 33 seconds! I definitely remember my first rebus and it was as frustrating as you’d expect. when I finally used “reveal square” my jaw literally dropped haha. now I mostly enjoy them and occasionally groan at them :P
aaaahhh wtf
Yay so fun! Thank you for giving the heads up to skip the note at the beginning if we didn’t want the spoiler. I love love love *****es, so getting to 4d and realizing there would be one was very exciting moment.
I’ve started waking up Saturday mornings and my first thought is the A+ crossword! Today I made myself wait until my second cup of coffee to delay the gratification a little.
I loved it, thanks for the head’s up!
8m30s! Was slightly daunted by the rebus prospect (not something I’d ever heard of before) but loved it in practice! Thank you for making me feel smart on this fine Saturday
I also had never heard of a rebus before, so thank you for the explanation! Would have been completely lost otherwise.
Thanks for the heads up, and for another fun puzzle!
well that was delightful
I LEARNED SO MUCH TODAY
I do a lot of crosswords and I’ve never seen a rebus before so thanks for the heads up, though I must admit I thought what it meant was that you’d put two letters in those squares and one would work with the across while the other worked with the down, so maybe an example would have been useful. I’d also find it very helpful if you said if an answer was more than one word, “okok” really got me this week.
7 minutes and 36 seconds! I hadn’t done a crossword with a rebus before but once I got it I really enjoyed it!
I totally misinterpreted what a rebus was when I did crosswords before!
Loved it in this (great clue leading to it!) and now I feel much more prepared for my nyt crossword journey
I’ve never heard of a rebus before, so I appreciate the tip! This was a really fun one!
Never done a crossword with a rebus before, didn’t know that was a thing. Neat!
this was a really fun addition to the saturday puzzle- i appreciated the explainer.
Ohhhh the rebus took me a minute but it was very fun – thanks for the note!!!
