I thought today’s was hard. I got to genius finally and then QB with hints. But it took me quite a while.
I agree. I got to genius with some reddit hints before bailing. Not as hard as Thursday, but definitely the 2nd hardest of the week.
Still a few words left for me. I might get to it before midnight. Or not.
You can always do it tomorrow - look up Yesterday’s Answers then Play Instead.
Made genius + a couple, am 16 freaking words short! What a huge puzzle so might come back to it later.
Got QB Saturday, missed by 3 words yesterday, need 2 words today
Falling asleep 
going to have to settle for just being amazing today

Made quick work of today’s though. Stayed up past midnight and knocked it out in about 15 minutes.
