This is why I stick to the Mini and Connections.

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.

Today’s puzzle had what was George Lucas original surname for Luke skywalker. I have no clue. I have a few letters but not enough to even guess.

Spark? Something or another

Tempting but I’m waiting

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."

[Mik]

I only do the mini. That work in a square thing is whack.

Rebuses. Yea they can be tricky. I couldn’t get that totally bonkers clue. Craycray? Didn’t know that.
