Monday's New York Times crosssord puzzle solved: August 17, 2020

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My time: 3:50.

Theme: BEACHFRONT, as in the front of the themed Across clues are related to the beach.  WAVES HELLO, SURF THE NET, SHELLS OUT CASH, and PALMS CARDS.  I can hear the steel drums now!

At first, having only solved the first and third Across themed clues, I thought there might be a shell hidden in each clue (WAVES HELLO).  But then I figured it wouldn't be very clever to hide a word by writing it out by itself, as in the third answer.

Look, it's our old friend, director AVA DuVernay!

Jacob's first wife LEAH was in the puzzle just over a month ago.

Was this an easy and fun puzzle?  OUI OUI, Monsieur!  Fun theme, nothing challenging.
