Welcome to the third Weekend Bonus Puzzle! If you're unfamiliar with these types of grids, here's a super-de-duper quick rundown. The Weekend Bonus Puzzles still follow the rule convention of American crosswords, but they're quite wide (today's is 16 squares wide) and rather short. This grid has just under 50 words compared to a 15x15 grid that can easily have 70+ words. I hope you enjoy the spanner even though I've technically referred to the video game before. It's a different word in the grid this time.

Non NYT Words: 10D, 18A, 23A

Non Shortz-Era Words: 1D, 9D

Title Words: 40A, 41A

Music Inspiration Word: 2D

Reused 4+ Letter Words: 5D, 27D, 29A

Unique Words to Date: 2,304
