My first Thursday solve without any hints. Big day 😅❤️ Thanks for all your content, Chris!
The three MCU Chrises are Evans (Captain America), Hemsworth (Thor) and Pratt (Star-Lord). Chris Pine is not in the MCU (unless you count the Spider-Verse movies with their multiverse shenanigans) but was in the two DC Wonder Woman movies.
Given their positions, I think the four lines of black squares represent the beginning of cutting the pizza into quarter slices!
I kept waiting for you to notice 28 down! [Mixed bag? = tea] :)
There’s something very soothing about hearing the rebus explanation every time.
Good to know about the Esc key for inserting a rebus. You can also use the insert key.
This one was high Art!
Holy rebus, Batman!
Very fun puzzle today! Putting the rebus in on mobile was a pain though lol
this is my first week with the crossword subscription, but i somehow managed to solve it without the rebus lol, i didn't know that was a thing
I thought this was a really fun puzzle. Lately, I have been working my way through the crossword by doing as many across clues as I could, then down, then randomly filling the rest in. I knew something was going on early on, but then I encountered the toppings clue and thought that the extra letter(s) that I didn't have room for were being "absorbed" into the black squares somehow. It wasn't until I crossed Dr. Ruth with throb (oh my!) and thought, "how am I going to remember the double letters in these boxes?" that I remembered that I can use a rebus! (It's been a long week and my brain is tired!). Chris mentions this all the time about rebuses - there isn't any specific indicator when a rebus is in play, but if you're coming up with answers you could swear are correct but don't fit, that's a good sign that a rebus is involved.
Bit late commenting on this, but don't the yellow squares at the end represent the cheese topping?
The esc key tip was v handy!
Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt. Greetings from a fellow Chris.
I thougt it was a soccer ball at first, for the Copa America :)
Isn't Illini pronounced Ill-EYE-Nigh?
I’ve no idea, I think I’ve only seen it written!
Yep, it is!
and pardon a European, but isn't that the name of a/the native american tribe who held sway over most, if not all, of the territory today known as Illinois?
@@stefanrahm6163 the Illini was a confederation of indigenous tribeswho lived in the area, yes. A fun (semi-related) fact I learned recently is that 28 of the 50 states derive their name from Native American languages which is honestly fewer than I thought as I’m from one of those in the middle of the country and tend to forget that the east coast states are mostly named after European people/places
