      32D has a typo in the clue - Other than that, excellent puzzle as usual.

            I hope it wasn’t too bad. I’m curious, though … What made the puzzle tough for you?
            • An Ephemeral Collation 🤓5:10 · 2024-06-05T02:22:16.178Z
              Oh, I very much enjoyed it - just a combination of some uncommon fill (mostly clued soberly, to your credit) and some tougher-than-usual clues for more common fill. Keep up the good work!
