        Excellent first public puzzle! And the fact that I tried to write leia for 6d is entirely my fault haha

          Oh, that's just a sign that your brain is making connections at lightning-speed, so take it as a positive!!

          Couldn't remember the app for 1A and immediately started in with GRINDR. Honestly says more about me than them.

            I feel like a doofus, because I didn't even CONSIDER that implication; I spent so long trying to work in "designed to be deleted" somehow and just thought that was a super cute story relating to this app!

            More relevantly this is an impressive debut !!
