Yep, that was super easy. I guess this is a 5 week month though.

Lemon squeezy, even though I have seen at most one Denzel Washington movie. Not a reflection of DW; I just almost never watch movies. Which does not help my crossword puzzle skills, I tell ya.

Beam me up! I like the connections to last week's puzzle; we should try to predict (after the deadline) what next week's puzzle title and contest answer description will be.

This is going to get a lot of correct answers for a Week 2. On the other hand, it is a five-puzzle month.

Do the "This Year" streaks update at a different time than the "This Week" chart? I'm listed on both This Week and last week, but my This Year streak is only 1. :(

This could be my fastest solve ever. I literally had the solution in under two minutes and just spent the rest of the time completing the grid. This is one where you can’t help but solve it— there is only one path to go down.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Seems it updates right away...honestly, I don't know how to access last week's (or any prior week's) leaderboard.

Edit: Figured out how to find prior leaderboards. Your entry last week was "Brian Mac" with a space ...hopefully you didn't have a streak going.

Ah, that must be it. I will reach out to Matt and see if he can correct it. Thanks!

This played like a week 0 for me. Got it before I even started the grid. Title and 11D made me smile.
