Jasmeet: i had so much fun making this puzzle! i love that i got to highlight the creator of Smarter In Seconds who i absolutely look up to! some of my favorites are 61A, 47D (one of my favorite meals!), 42D, 36D, and 13A. also while cluing 54D i could not stop mentally replaying that wizards of waverly place song that goes “what’s that? a hat? crazy funky junky hat?…” you know the one!

Crossword Puzzle Theme Synopsis

The FIRST word of each theme answer can be paired with the word CLASS to form a new phrase. Our FIRST CLASS phrases are CLASS ACT, CLASS REUNION, and CLASS TRIP.

This is a FIRST CLASS puzzle for Friday. Here's a fun thing: We saw a puzzle titled FIRST CLASS last month, but that puzzle had a completely different theme. A couple of clues I especially enjoyed today were (44D: "Hungry Hungry Hippos" piece) for MARBLE, and (45D: Like a clock with hands) for ANALOG. Thank you, Jasmeet, for this excellent, might I say FIRST CLASS, puzzle.

One more thing today: This weekend is the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament (ACPT) in Stamford, Connecticut. If you happen to be at ACPT this weekend, please find me and say hello – I'd love to talk to you! I happen to know that the constructor of today's puzzle will also be at ACPT, so if you are there and see Jasmeet, tell her how much you enjoyed today's puzzle.
