I’m annoyed at myself today. Very annoyed. No, I didn’t fail – but I needed one of the NYT’s in-game hints when really I could and should have solved it without. The theme clue was really obvious, and as soon as I saw ‘Not stirred’ I thought ‘shaken’! But for some reason it didn’t occur to me that the answer might be quite so simple as that, so I didn’t even look for the word SHAKEN, which was the spangram. If I had, I wouldn’t have needed the hint to set me on my way, because all of the answers were pretty easy. Silly silly silly.
