Only a Muggle could understand why I snapped this photo at an Outdoors Expo on Saturday.
The two OZONEs were the starting point for me as well. Once I saw that, I followed the same path as @aaugusti (#302). With the pdf on screen, starting with 1A, I hit Ctrl F EARS, that took me to the clue at 35A. whose answer was NEW. Then Ctrl F NEW and so on. The letters were in order, and I could see what the answer was going to be after the first four or so. But thanks to Ctrl F, the whole process went very quickly

Hardly a quitter if you’ve been thinking about it for a week! And we all have some that we just can’t figure out.
Some of the night owls post the WSJ explanation and their own work on here right after the midnight deadline. This week that started at post #296

There’s also an explanation at the crossword fiend website
