    Loved this one - it’s your cleanest one yet IMO… liked very much the fresh term RANDO and appreciated the different cluing angle for ACTUP (had to look it up after solving but enjoy learning new things)

        Fun, that was a tough one for me, I had to cheat. Keep it up!

          I've always believed that solving crosswords is a leisure activity and so there's no such thing as cheating :) Thanks for solving!

              Good one.

              Nice one! I'd argue that you don't need the "fondly" in 9A as both FROSH and SOPHS are well-known shorthand. You'd probably want to use "fondly" (or better "familiarly," imo) if it was clued as "Former freshmen, fondly."

                Great point, thank you!

                Very creative cluing - loved 4D in particular. Thanks!

                Good enough for me

                Nice!
                • Sendhil Revuluri constructor · 2023-12-29T00:15:43.444Z
                  Glad you enjoyed!

                  Enjoyed it - thanks for sharing. I particularly liked the GRAPE/PEACH intersection (especially given the parallel cluing).
                  • Sendhil Revuluri constructor · 2023-12-29T00:16:24.612Z
                    Thank you! Those were the "seed" (I had tried to wedge in some more FRUIT but restrained myself… I think wisely given the somewhat forced fill that I've had before).

                    I've never heard of Peach Bellini, but otherwise I was OK with it. Hah, and now i see the connection to your Renoir painting! Great!
