    My first completed puzzle. I already have a long list of notes of parts I dislike (got a couple areas of questionable fill) but for the most part I'm proud of the effort! Would welcome any and all feedback.
    • Mike D 🤓6:56 · 2022-02-03T16:25:42.526Z
      I thought this was great! Really well done, especially for a first puzzle 👍
      • Kelly constructor · 2022-02-03T22:05:48.569Z
        Thank you! I appreciate the feedback :)

        Very solid puzzle. Clues.for PTL and INRI are very.difficult but the crossing clues made it possible to finish without a problem. Full was nice Great job!
        • Kelly constructor · 2022-02-03T22:06:18.682Z
          I really wasn't happy with the PTL / HUMPH cross but I'm glad you didn't find it too terrible! Thanks for the feedback!
          • GatoDiablo 17:42 · 2022-02-04T00:32:23.085Z
            I just watched “Eyes of Tammy Fae” so I got PTL easy!

          Kelly, this was a great puzzle! Genuinely surprised to hear that it is your first one. As for questionable fills, I found it to be straightforward - but in a rewarding way. Also, I really enjoyed the theme. Nicely done and looking forward to your subsequent grids.
          • Kelly constructor · 2022-02-03T22:06:42.067Z
            Thanks so much Clayton! I'm looking forward to trying another one soon :)

            Overall, good puzzle I think the clue for 30D should read "Calvary" not "Cavalry"
            • Kelly constructor · 2022-02-03T21:50:08.219Z
              Thank you so much for this catch! Fixed :)
              • Kelly constructor · 2022-02-03T22:33:22.291Z
                Thank you so much for catching that! It's been changed :)

                seconding what Mateo said, impressive first puzzle!
                • Kelly constructor · 2022-02-04T14:05:01.008Z
                  Thank you!!

                  Congratulations on your first puzzle, and a lovely puzzle it is! I just saw HADESTOWN recently for the first time - great show and "Why We Build the Wall" is a phenomenal song.
                  • Kelly constructor · 2022-02-04T14:05:25.512Z
                    I love HADESTOWN so much... I think I've watched their Tiny Desk show at least a dozen times. Jealous you got to see it in person!

                    Well done. Loved the Broadway theme and was initially thrown by the I as a 1 in ACTI. Very clever. But it was GELID/DYADS that was my undoing.
                    • Kelly constructor · 2022-02-04T14:05:59.053Z
                      Thank you! That cross was tricky, agreed... glad you liked the theme!
