      Had to look that one up in my archive. Sept 24,2023.

      Did it, no cheats.

      Today’s Sunday, hard. I have it 95% done But the south east corner has me stumped. I’ll wait another day before going into auto check mode.

              Well I got star killer and finished the southeast corner but it turned out I had a few letters off in other clues. Sundays can be a pain. Just too damn big.

                      I hate it when the NYT crossword does this: Put at least two letters in the space of one square.

                      By the way, the clue for 6 down is "Artificial Bronze."
