- Mike D 2:58 · 2022-02-16T22:26:58.106ZNice! I am not too familiar with the themers so this was tricky for me - had a good time trying, though
- Hraf constructor · 2022-02-17T15:36:32.667ZI think I may have overestimated the general familiarity with both the themers and a few of the regular fill clues (ERHU, ATTO, LAHTI, and SULA in particular may have been a bit more obscure than I'd intended), but I'm glad you enjoyed regardless!
- Ben Zoon 6:23 · 2022-02-17T04:19:17.926ZIf I laboriously worked through an entire book of these, my crossword vocabulary would improve markedly.
- Hraf constructor · 2022-02-17T15:34:06.258ZI hope that's a good thing! I know the NE corner of the grid is a bit of a doozey if you aren't familiar with XENIA, PHILIA, or ERHU, but I hope the rest of it wasn't too painful, even with the relative-obscurity of the theme!
- Idriss Z 🤓32:28 · 2022-02-18T04:14:21.319ZBrutal, but in a good way! The spike fiddle was an aptly named sticking (guessing) point.
- Aaron 10:57 · 2022-02-19T00:30:52.073ZThis one was brutal. I've gained a lot of Classical knowledge from Friday/Saturday NYT crosswords but this was way above and beyond what I can do. If anything this puzzle serves to remind me I have so much more to learn and that crosswords can be a great tool for that end.
- M Forest 8:15 · 2022-02-22T11:52:47.529ZThis theme was over my head, and the fill was too tough to help me figure it out w/o using reveal.
- Hraf constructor · 2022-02-23T00:19:51.190ZSorry it wasn't what you were looking for! It's definitely a tricky one in some places, but I hope it was interesting regardless! :)
