    🤯 <-- me when I worked out 15A afterwards

      Ha... same here. Got the word pretty easy; struggled to understand the cluing.

      Really liked 7A and 9D. 8D caught me out as I was trying to use 'eg' as example
      • merlinnimue 🤓5:20 · 2023-08-23T02:51:42.615Z
        nice and smooth, especially like the ship nina that kinda connects to 7a
        • frostyjhammer 10:39 · 2023-08-23T03:04:55.054Z
          I would like to see more of your cryptics!

                    Great!

                      If this is your first cryptic, I can only imagine how great your next puzzles are going to be. You had some very nice surfaces, especially for the longer ones (like 7A!), and there was a humorous voice to stuff like 1D, 6D, and 18A.
