Second. As in the unit of time.

Yeah but second place doesn't deal with time. Second can though...

Second place could mean pretty much anything with the number 2 on it. It wasn't a good hint. I'd probably change it to "Seconds' place" if I could rewrite it

Any clue ending with a question mark deals with some form of wordplay. It's probably best to skip those until you get some letters in the grid.

A clock shows seconds in a specific place. It is a place for seconds. It is, therefore, a second place. Both words in the clue are important.

Oof, 2:53. Looks like I wasn't the only one tripped up by "Seconds place?"

I did have to google Taylor Swift's boyfriend too, but I ain't feel bad about it.

Today's full crossword is kinda bullshit, probably one of the hardest gimmicks I've ever worked because it didn't seem consistently applied. I've got the puzzle full but probably one wrong square and can't figure out what it is.

Apropos of nothing, did you try Tuesday's? (And I also didn't know it was a thing until I happened to watch a crossword solve from Cracking the Cryptic where Mark thought there was a rebus clue.)

And :45 for Friday. I got all the across clues except 6 across and then spent way too much time in my head trying to make sense of 5 down's wording.
