You're the best of the best to me.
As someone who played the original ANIMAL CROSSING on the GameCube back in the day, and then like many played a bunch of New Horizons during the pandemic, I absolutely LOVED this theme.
Good work on the theme!
I suspect you know this and simply misspoke, but an aglet is not the hole you put a shoelace through, it's the plastic or metal bit on the end of a shoelace to stop it from fraying, hence "sheath" in the clue.
Loved the theme and despite the tough long words (USURER, DOMINI, NEMATODE, MASTODON, TEASEL, and NUMISMATIST were all things I barely heard of/didn't know at all) I managed to solve the puzzle in a reasonably short time! My favorite part was going down the central column and using the additional clue that the answers were animals to easily fill in most of the entries.
Really enjoyed this one. Got stuck on RIA and TEASEL as I had never heard of those words before. Anglet was floating somewhere in my brain but I had a hard time pinning it down.
However, I was reminded of my favorite quote from one of my favorite TV shows, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. "Jack! I'm in desperate need of a numismatist!" "Where does one go to find a Latvian Anarchist in this town?" is a close second.
The spikey seed heads of the teasel were once used to process cloth. The nap of the cloth was " teased or teaselled "" out. Nowadays they are just ornamental garden plants and devices made with steel hooks do the job.
I found today’s puzzle very difficult for a Wednesday. So much was just outside of my personal wheelhouse!
I thought the cluing of the themed answers was well done. A mix of fun facts, idioms, homophones. Really enjoying the themes this week.
dang almost had it except for the top left corner got me stuck. I got the theme before any of the crosses haha huge nintendo fan
Awesome theme and I did really well on this one except for the fact I wasted 4 minutes at the end with “LOON” in 34-Across
