Super easy today, with some nice, clever clues.
I solved the Tuesday 12/05/2023 New York Times Daily Crossword in 5:53! https://www.nytimes.com/crosswords/game/by-id/21539

Another Tuesday that I found to be relatively easier than the Monday.
Didn’t understand the theme at all even after solving it. Had to rely on the daily column to understand the meaning of the theme. Not my favourite.
