Submit ReviewAn elegant Saturday crossword by Zhouquin Burnikel, her 79th! It was a perfectly timed reminder that today is the Chinese New Year, the YEAROFTHEDRAGON, so GONGXIFACAI, everyone! The crossword was relatively straightforward for a Saturday, although there were some great gotchas throughout the grid. For example, have a gander at 7A, "Ah, got it now", OKISEE (not, as both Jean and Mike, solving independently as always, had speculated, OHISEE); 37D, Badly off-base, GONEAWOL (ha!); and 11D, Carrier of a bow and arrow, EROS (đ). Considering Zhouquin Burnikel's prodigious output, we confidently predict that you will see her next NYTimes crossword very soon, and that won't be soon enough!Show note imagery: Just a few of the many, many costumed superheroes at MEGACON 2024.
