SATURDAY PUZZLE — Solvers familiar with Ryan McCarty know that he has a futuristic bent, a knack for neologisms. We have him to thank for the debuts of “dank memes,” “brogrammer” and “anti-vaxxers,” to name a few. I thought this was as difficult a solve as you can tackle in one sitting, a perfect workout for a Saturday. I was delighted by the clue for PARADE though, and found the general flow of the grid to be pretty fun. Pretty juxtaposition here with BLUE MOON, I thought, crossing CLARET RED as well.
