Hints for the April 24 puzzle
Not ready for the full answer? Here are lighter, spoiler-free nudges for that day's grid, above the solutions.

It keeps the Times' clean, playful cluing, so the answers below read like a lighter version of the main puzzle rather than a Saturday-level challenge. Use the hints for the trickiest clues, then reveal the answers above only if you need them.
