This was a fine Tuesday crossword by Eric Rollfing, marking his fourth overall in the NYTimes, and his Tuesday debut.

There were a bevy of TWL (Today We Learned) clues in today's puzzle. Most notably, we had 7D, Color whose name comes from the Greek word for "cuttlefish", SEPIA; the interestingly named 36A, Reptile that can reach up to 10 feet in length, MONITORLIZARD; and finally we went with the only loch we knew in 65A, Largest loch in Scotland by volume, NESS.

In other news, it's Triplet Tuesday™️, and today Jean's in the hot seat, so you'll definitely want to check that out!

Show note imagery: The el Museo del Prado, which at one point had the distinction of having "the largest concentration of masterpieces per square meter". 😮
