DNF. I struggled mightily with this, and eventually gave up.

22D was a puzzle all of its own, and finally a delight!

I had an issue or two with this one, but nothing that impaired my considerable enjoyment.

My printout is starkly free of comments. How did you all do?

14:50. I obviously found this tricky but I can’t really see why now.

A good puzzle to do over lunch I found. My favourite was 9ac.

I think I passed! A few definitions—as parts of clues and for an entire answer—really had me stretching.

Someone asked recently how hard Saturdays are, compared with the SNITCH of weekday puzzles. My guess would have been typically perhaps 90-100 on the SNITCH. This one might have rated higher!

14:14. A tricky and enjoyable puzzle this week from Harry.

Only one comment in the margin of my copy, at 26ac. Otherwise, smooth sailing.
