I couldn't quite work it all out but it was really fun trying!

CRSSWRD 1

I loved this! It definitely gave me the same mental workout as @scantor's anagrammys

The Crossword Goblin 1

Oh man I can honestly say I have never seen anything like this 😂😂

Fun one Ben!

This is f**king beautiful. I am in awe as someone who writes intentionally convoluted clues. I love this.

Thanks!!! I will have to make more I guess

This is sinful. More please!

(Loved it, but my word that took a while, really fun!)

Thank you.  Next one will be a short story for each clue.

I'm working on a meta inspired by your latest one, btw!

holy shit, this must have taken FOREVER to write

Honestly, wasn't too bad, since the grid didn't take long; took about as long to clue as a normal 15x15

You were right, I feel very rewarded after completing it!

I have no idea what I just did, but that was awesome.

Oh wow. I am sitting here laughing in bemusewilderment. Oh, btw, check those dupes crossed in the upper-right area. Unless that was due to a breach in the space-time continuum which cased unpredictable results. In that case, neverm --- (morphs into butterfly).

This abomination must be a crime against crosswords!

Couldn't get it but I enjoyed trying! Very original theme!

Great puzzle! Had to check to get TZARA, but was able to piece my way through the rest. Clever theme and continuity.

Pseudoscience

Heh spent a long time staring at this one before basically solving 20 across first 😂. Easier said than done!

Fun puzzle Ben!

Good difficulty distribution even considering the theme, which managed to include every clue! Nice one. (I spent so long thinking of synonyms for "life" or "peace" or "plenty" before getting MESSIAH 😅)

nice puzzle - really made me think!! IT'S vs ITS was the last thing i filled in... hahaha - oh i see what you did there ;)

took me awhile to figure out what was going on... first thing i filled in was SETTING (for MELTING), and then saw that INCA fit, but i thought wait wasn't INCA in peru? something weird is going on... and NEED and WANT aren't the same thing? loved the AHA moment of this puzzle

Love the title, that's what grabbed me right away! And then i love all the different ways you interpreted opposites! ITS vs IT'S was definitely one of my favorites. For 3D, I usually hear that as "in that black," so that took me a while. Great fun overall!

Solve 20 Across First or This Might Take a While

Nice one Ben - I got stuck on PAREVE but enjoyed it! I liked the ENTITY theme!

Fun With Letters

Nice one Ben - very clever theme! I almost got it but got stuck on FOERAL - can you explain that one to me I'm still stuck on it? 😂

FYI I moved the stars on your clues to the beginning instead of the end - that way Crosshare picks them up and highlights the connected entries.

Thanks Mike! Ya, this was testing out the website (my first time trying to use it to share puzzles).  I also found a couple other mistakes and made slight adjustments (particularly changed LLBS / BRED to LLCS / CRED).  FOERAL is supposed to be "Foxy general" with "oxygen" --> "O"

Ah thank you! 🤦

Feel free to get in touch (crosshareapp@gmail.com) if you have any issues/questions/suggestions!

wowza... that was hard... i got BORON and CARBON early on... so knew that elements were at play... never heard the expression "wooden nickel" before so Ni took me a long time - nice theme

ohhh FAR GONE... i missed that one too... really cute... one tiny quibble... is "proscuito" a spelling variant with one t? i've always seen it as two... foxy general hahaha that made me smile

This is a very reasonable quibble... prosciuto is not at all a normal spelling variant that I am aware of, but my crossword making software had it in the default library, and by the time I realized, it was too late, so I just rolled with it.
