Waiter! Waiter!

Life's been... something... and so this has been languishing in the Drafts folder for some time. My first "Thursday-style" puzzle. Have fun! Some commentary on the puzzle over on the site (https://generalisms.com/2022/04/10/waiter-waiter/)

    So good!

      I really enjoyed it! 56D plurality may need to be looked at.

        also a typo in "Radiers" but still a very fun puzzle
        • Lloyd constructor · 2022-04-13T20:30:56.478Z
          Thanks, both. Adjusted those. Glad you thought it was fun, still! 😊

        That was lots of fun! Really enjoyed your postmortem analysis of your puzzle too. Despite not being something that's easy to see as a solver, symmetry is often the key difference between self-published and newspaper-quality puzzles.

          I believe Vespucci's first name is spelled with a G instead of a C. Looks like it could stay as is if you change the surname to Vespucio. Had me stuck for a minute, but otherwise fun!

            Loved it! One of those where when you get the trick, it's a blast to solve

              Lots of fun!

                Nice one! The aha! moment was well-earned.
