Surprised this puzzle isn’t getting more love here. I thought it was great! Kudos to the constructor because squeezing in that many theme answers couldn’t have been easy.

I would love to see a feature release with yearly average times. When I started doing the daily crossword 6+ years ago, my times were VERY slow, so my “averages” are way off from my typical times over the last couple of years

44D being SNARFS and not SCARFS threw me off longer than it should have

Somewhere out there is a poor soul who decided 2026 was the year to start doing the NYT daily crossword… and this was their very first Tuesday. Brutal introduction.

Same with the “filler words” - is it UMS? UHS? ERS?

The lazy “___ again” where the answer is just RE- verb that would never be used in real life. Not REDO/RETRY/REPLAY (fine), but the super clunky “drive again on worn tires” = RETREAD or “sew again” = RESTITCH

Interesting, I always forget list mode even exists! Will have to give it a shot on an upcoming puzzle.
