Constructor: Ailee Yoshida

Relative difficulty: Medium+ (on the tough side for a Tuesday)


THEME: SUPERGIRL (62A: Kara Zor-El's identity in DC Comics ... or a punny hint to the answers to the starred clues) — answers follow the pattern: [word meaning "super"] + ["girl"'s name]"

Theme answers:
  • GOOD FAITH (17A: *Sincere intentions)
  • ROCKIN' ROBIN (25A: *One who's "Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a singin' his song," in a 1958 hit)
  • STAR / LILY (38A: *With 39-Across, flower named for its distinctive shape)
  • PRETTY PENNY (51A: *Considerable amount of money, in an idiom)
Word of the Day: TERRINE (12D: French loaf baked in a rectangular mold) —

terrine (French pronunciation: ​[tɛ.ʁin]), in traditional French cuisine, is a loaf of forcemeat or aspic, similar to a pâté, that is cooked in a covered pottery mold (also called a terrine) in a bain-marie. Modern terrines do not necessarily contain meat or animal fat, but still contain meat-like textures and fat substitutes, such as mushrooms and pureed fruits or vegetables high in pectin. They may also be cooked in a wide variety of non-pottery terrine moulds, such as stainless steelaluminiumenameled cast iron, and ovenproof plastic.

Terrines are usually served cold or at room temperature. Most terrines contain a large amount of fat, although it is often not the main ingredient, and pork; many terrines are made with typical game meat, such as pheasant and hare. In the past, terrines were under the province of professional charcutiers, along with sausages, pâtés, galantines, and confit. Less commonly, a terrine may be another food cooked or served in the cooking dish called a 'terrine'.

So much good energy here. YEETED! (58A: Chucked forcefully, in modern lingo). So many of y'all are gonna hate that one, I can feel it, but it's one of my favorite slang terms, partly because it seems to double as a sound effect, and also because I never really know *exactly* what it means and I've never heard anyone use it who wasn't half-making fun of themselves for using it. As soon as you say "Yeet!' you have pretty much taken the attention away from whatever it was you were talking about and put it squarely on the loopiness of the "word" you've now chosen to use. I'm never quite sure how to use it and so I never do. I'm almost entirely sure that it's not a word that people over 30 should really mess with. But it's fun to me. To my ears. The puzzle's theme also has good energy, though I think it is one answer short of working perfectly. The first three themers work pretty well, but that last one ... I truly love PRETTY PENNY as a standalone answer, but "PRETTY" doesn't come close enough to meaning "SUPER," I don't think. Maybe if you use it metaphorically to mean "really artfully done" (to describe an athletic feat, maybe), it works, but the primary meaning of PRETTY is aesthetically pleasing, which doesn't feel nearly as close to the heart of the SUPER-verse as the other first words are. Still, I think a good lawyer could exonerate PRETTY PENNY, and the theme as a whole is very imaginative, with theme answers that really sing ("ROCKIN' ROBIN, yeet! yeet! yeet!")


The bad part of this puzzle is the NE, and by "bad" I mean, "badly edited." First of all, TERRINE is a really, really hard word for a Tuesday. Despite its incredibly useful letters, the word has appeared only three other times in the Shortz era, and never before Thursday. It's a specialty word. I've actually heard it before, but (and here's where the editing comes in, for sure), I couldn't get to the word because "loaf" is such a strong evoker of bread that all I was thinking about was bread. After I finally got it from crosses, I was like "wow I thought TERRINE was a savory meaty aspicy thingie..." And it is. It is, yes, technically a "loaf," but yeesh. The word is already relatively obscure (I said "relatively!") for a Tuesday; trying to make it further inaccessible with a bread-looking clue does not feel like a sporting thing to do. Again, it is Tuesday. Which brings me to the other, far more bizarre editing call in the NE—that clue on PACER (9D: Kind of fitness test for K-12 students). What ... in the ... what? What is that? I'm ... well, old, and I've had a kid recently go through the K-12 system, and today, right now, is the first I'm hearing of whatever this is. In my experience, PACER = [Indiana hoopster] or ... maybe a bygone car of some kind (?) (aw yeah, the AMC PACER! What a looker!). Also, one who paces, presumably. From my perspective, as clued, PACER was a succession of arbitrary letters. So throw the bizarre (for me, brutal) PACER clue into a corner that's already got a toughly-clued TERRINE in it, and yeah, that's a lot more strange roughness than I ever want to see in a Tuesday corner, or any corner. I pity the solver who did not know that miso was a "PASTE" (also, not the easiest clue) (9A: Miso, for one). That corner was needlessly made much more inaccessible than it should've been. Completely out of keeping with the rest of the grid, and the general good vibes of the rest of the puzzle.


Love that there are NOODLES in my PHO this morning. Perfect. I will always eat PHO. Relatedly, I will never yeet PHO. Now that I have, actually, used "yeet" in a sentence, I feel like I've had my moment of personal growth, so I'm gonna head off to enjoy my coffee + cat time. Have a nice day.

P.S. I think this is the constructor's NYTXW debut. Strong work. Congratulations to her.
