… and all of that in just one clue!

It’s fair to say that I ground through this. That’s not to say it was hard, but there were no leaps of inspiration for me.

Like Sesame Street – this crossword is brought to you by the letter W.

There were two or three unknowns here but none that made the answer impossible.

Generally close to standard Saturday level.

Generally, all quiet on this crossword front.

I really enjoyed this. I got off to a fast start, but quickly slowed down.

In a hectic week, this crossword was very enjoyable. Some clues needed work disentangling the wordplay!

A few unknowns here but all getable.
