- I'm excited to hear how you went with this because the frustration I got from this puzzle, from the strange questions at the start to the overlapping ones I had no idea about at the end... This was just an all 'round bad time.

It’s Q “As In” queen lmao at asin. I love these man. Keep it up. These make my mondays 😂
I realized while I was editing... This whole puzzle just gave me a headache hahahha
Glad you're enjoying them though!
I didn't struggle that much with this one. Finished in 14:28 with gold star. I can however say that I would NEVER have gotten Q as in queen without getting all the downs. Bullshit answer that one.
I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that, I'm also glad that you struggled waaaaaaay less than I did on this puzzle. You did well!
It seems like there's always 1-2 clues that absolutely stump me in the last month or so of Monday puzzles, it's so frustrating hahah
Heck, this one started rough, and ended rough. I'm right along with you.
I was happy to get "Sidewalk," "Webster," and "Boulderers" almost immediately, but I also used to work at a rock climbing gym. Bouldering is climbing without a harness on a relatively low wall, so a rope isn't needed or even recommended. There was no way I was getting that bottom left corner either. I haven't watched Peter pan in like 15 years since I was a kid, I don't know anything about Picasso, and the "Q ___ Queen" clue would never even come to mind. That's impossible.
I got so pissed at "Croaks" thinking Ribbit, then I folded and got pissed that it was "Ribits," with you, and then you got Croaks and I finally understood. It should've been obvious with the clue being plural but I guess we just wanted it to be Ribbit so bad lol.
I agree that the "STDs" clue is 1. Slightly outdated (Here in America, we also use the term "STIs") and 2. A confusing clue. Maybe that's the point.
Once again, I am very bad at the multi-word clues like Cuestick and Cabride, but you got them relatively quick, nice job. I was also impressed at "Bunts" considering you didn't seem to act well-versed in American baseball, however you also knew that Washington was the Nationals. I don't think my wife would even know that.
You CRUSHED that top half once you just got a couple clues, I thought that was sick and your choice of "Except" was smart. I was thinking "Excuse", like someone who makes up an excuse as a reason they can't do something BECAUSE...
Next week, yeah? Back on track.
I just did not enjoy this puzzle at all ey!
Aaaah the "chalk" was right up your alley! I've been bouldering once, it was a lot of fun (thought I was so sore for a few days afterwards) That bottom left corner was just a joke. I probably should have got "CUBISM" sooner, but it just proves that I still struggle with multi word answers sometimes (AS IN) crossing through it.
Yeah, CROAKS annoyed me, but again, probably something I should have realized earlier :))
I'm glad I'm not alone with the STDs thing, it seemed outdated and poorly worded to me
You'll get better with multi-word clues if you keep doing more puzzles! It just comes with practice :D And I'm lucky I have some basic knowledge or the big 4 sports there and their teams/lingo! So sports clues usually aren't too bad!
Anyway! I'll be back next week and hopefully we both have a better time with it! hahahaa
@MoreBvnfire "Q AS IN QUEEN" OMG I SEE NOW. no chance in hell I'd get that. Here's to next week.
I got stuck at the end with THENATS and KENDO. No fucking clue about any MLB teams
Yeah, nicknames for things can be impossible when you're unfamiliar with the basic terms for them! Even then, it's hard sometimes. I hope you had a better time in general than I did though!
