    Fun and challenging! Now to try my hand at PR #1…
    • SporcleMirror 🤓6:16 · 2024-11-21T20:24:14.779Z
      I had Natick issues in PR #1 due to not knowing IKETTE and AGER, assuming it was IGOR since it worked with ET ALII at 1D. Maybe you could change the clue on AGER to avoid another proper noun. Still, the clues were definitely harder than #2 (I'd say NYT Saturday+ level). This was much smoother and felt like a Friday. Maybe a tad tougher, only because I had SPOTAD for ADSPOT, crossing HADAT, and I was sure that 23A had to be FERMI. Turns out that fermium is element #100 and nobelium is #102.

        yeah, I'll change that, that's a pretty rough crossing. I have a strange obsession with finding proper noun cluing angles for normal words
