    Very nice! Loved the theme. I wonder if the clue for SML5AT-shirt sizes, as seen in catalogs[---] should be made singular, though?
    • hbxwords constructor · 2022-03-17T19:17:00.723Z
      I made a slight tweak to the clue to make it clearer, thanks! (Normally you wouldn't see this on one tag, it would be a list of sizes). This is what I get for forcing that little bit of fill in there :).
      • Maxish 🤓7:14 · 2022-03-18T02:54:50.418Z
        I tripped on this too, even after the clarification. It was my one bad square after filling in the grid (SMS instead of SML5AT-shirt sizes, as seen in catalogs[---]). I really enjoyed your puzzle!
        • hbxwords constructor · 2022-03-18T14:45:43.894Z
          Thanks! I'll keep working on that clue.

            Very clever cluing

              Nice! Would have been great to see a revealer of some sort to tie this all together. Also not digging the use of "not" in the clue for 19A19AThat's a lie! (as spoken by an arguing kid)[-----] since it's part of the answer.
              • hbxwords constructor · 2022-03-23T04:29:23.280Z
                Good catch! Clue is changed.
