    Don't worry, these variations are fun. Especially that how you find the swiis mistake before you do that.

    It's always interesting to see what comes to mind first for other solvers compared to myself. 3D was pretty obvious to me, while I went with SWEETROLL at first for 37D.

    What exactly does the crossword puzzle editor do? Just read the clues to make sure they are clear?

      In the Constructor Notes section it has read a couple of times that the editor had changed some clues. It didn't say for what reason. Could be for clarity or maybe to adjust the difficulty.

    Did anyone else find the circled-letter theme clue to be unhelpful? I only JUST decoded it twelve hours after posting my video of the solve. While I was working it, the circled letters and the emerging nonsense of what they seemed to be spelling only ERODED my confidence in what I had already answered. :(

      On Mondays the circled letters tend to just relate to the theme with no help to the actual solve. Later in the week circled cells tend to be more integral to the theme. Most Mondays you can solve the puzzle like a very easy Friday or Saturday paying no attention to the theme.

    Well, the first ~15 minutes were fine. After that it was tedious.
