If you type a tinyurl link into your browser in the below format, just changing the puzzle number to the current week, then it should work soon after the publication time. I’m not sure who is creating them but they’ve been consistent over the past several weeks.

tinyurl.com/Everyman4162

Similarly for Gemelo (remembering that certain weeks it’s Azed)

I do Everyman only occasionally. I quite enjoyed today's, but I have one small query. Is the song at 20 Across most widely known from the early 1950s before I was born? If so, I feel the clue should have been slightly more descriptive ('ancient song ' might have been going too far the other way!)

I think the song has endured through the decades, perhaps due to Disney. In fact I note it’s still a big hit with millions of views on YouTube kids!

Malone, do you know to look for rhyming pairs of solutions in symmetrical grid positions? Occasionally (today included) Everyman drops this little quirk of his for antonym pairings. Today we see this in the starts of 11 and 20.

Thanks, Jono. The info about the 'regulars' in the puzzle was interesting. I'd seen mention of the 'principally' clues before, but I don't think I'd absorbed anything else.
i'm not totally convinced about the bird song clue, but was relieved to hear it was less ancient than I thought (if it's still being listened to today).
