                    So fun and great clues! And I learned something about SSNs! Thanks for a nice Sunday morning puzzle. Keep 'em coming!

                      Really enjoyed this, Sendhil. I especially liked the clues with a music theme. Looking forward to trying some more of your puzzles. I also enjoyed your featured solver interview on Boswords. Quite a coincidence that you'd met Ben Z several years ago! FYI: I think you were in the Crossword Construction course I took with Brooke H and Natan L last spring!
                      • Sendhil Revuluri constructor · 2024-03-14T14:50:57.754Z
                        Hi Jeanne — thanks so much for solving and for your kind words!
                        And yes, I was there in the Atlas Obscura class — though some of it has not stuck, especially black square placement! (So any feedback, guidance, or resources are always appreciated!)
                        • Jeanne Breen 🤓59s · 2024-03-14T19:46:49.881Z
                          Re: black square placement: it gives me hives! Definitely one of the things I struggle with. If I crack the code in any way, I'll absolutely share the breakthrough with you!
                      • An Ephemeral Collation 🤓42s · 2024-05-02T19:05:36.259Z
                        Fantastic!
