    Nice one - I like the grid art! It made for some unchecked squares which I'm usually not a fan of, but these all seemed pretty gettable to me

      Hard! But fun.

          Grid art is nice, but are all these unchecked squares and 2-letter words worth it? There's nothing else connecting to the theme except... J-Lo?

            Thanks for the feedback. You're right, in the original construction I'd themed it around a period tracking app, but once I removed that and some of the other thematic answers the rest doesn't really hang together well. Some have stuck around, so I liked "Predicts" and "cycle" being next to each other, and "wing" was a nod too. I shared it because it was my first attempt at a Midi size (and I've still not finished a full size), but it isn't really my best foot forward.

            I feel like I missed a revealer somewhere but I enjoyed the conversational, breezy fill.

              Thanks Aaron, I appreciate it! As I mention in the comment above it was originally more themed but now it's just me testing the waters with my clueing.
