  1. Excited to watch this because I did NOT get the theme. Luckily I was able to just find the crosses and infer the answers that way. Edit: WHAT?! Another theme that's broken on mobile!! 🙁

  2. I play using the NYT Games app with my iPad using the dark theme, and those special clues were just white boxes for me (because, in the dark theme, the text is white; but in this puzzle the musical staff clues where put in a white box). So I wound up solving those clues simply through a combination of the down clues and a bit of guessing/assuming for what fit. Only afterwards did I think to check on the NYT news app, which populated the clues.

  4. Luckily I solved this on PC so I didn't have any issues with the display of the clues. I know very little about reading music, but I just enough to know that the first key, without sharps or flats, was C. Getting the structure of the theme from the first answer was enough to approach the rest of the theme clues without needing to know the actual key.
