If you enjoyed today's puzzle, you may like this one as well!
It's not thorny, I promise.

Another extremely clever and original theme idea, Xan.
Are you posting this here because it was rejected by an editor? I have a hard time believing anyone would have turned this down.

Absolutely Amazing NYT puzzle, Xan, and thank you for the (also very fun) second puzzle! I asked for the "anatomy of a puzzle" and "poof!" you post one here. Thanks! It was very interesting to see how you came up with such a novel idea...
Was originally going to post this at your blog itself, but it insists on audio verification, which proved difficult as varsity computers lack speakers...

Loved it! Seems like a perfect NYT Wed or Thurs to me. Can't imagine what Mr. Shortz was thinking when he turned it down...
But keep at it, please, and post the shouldn't-have-been-rejected-but-were here!

Xan,
You have an amazing talent at puzzlemaking and I hope you continue the good work.
Actually I am puzzled and even pizzed off that Will did not accept BOTH puzzles.
