    Great job, reub! Fun mechanism with plenty of Easter eggs!
    • kurtalert 🤓3:04 · 2024-04-14T19:22:14.185Z
      Very nice, thank you!
      • Sendhil Revuluri 🤓2:44 · 2024-04-14T22:58:27.546Z
        Fun solve, thank you! (I may regret saying this, but I think the meta prompt may have been a bit too helpful… I had an inkling this was the meta answer before I even opened the puzzle.)
        • reub constructor · 2024-04-14T23:07:43.614Z
          A fair point. I altered that right before I published because I wanted the meta to be more accessible to new solvers.
        • woozy 🤓10:31 · 2024-04-14T22:57:52.738Z
          Fun!
          Never saw 23A so I assumed that somehow the star on that clue was accidentally forgotten. I tried making it CaNdy Shack and wondered why it was so different from the other themers.
          Fun cluing and nice click
          • theparocine 🤓5:39 · 2024-04-15T02:52:06.569Z
            whoops i clicked on the solve meta by accident when i wanted to submit
            Amazing misdirects (esp. 23A)! Love the meta clues too - funnily enough I got those ones before most of the normal clues
            • riotblob 🤓8:17 · 2024-04-15T15:05:35.894Z
              thank you for the puzzle! I guessed the meta answer right off the bat but still spent a long time puzzling out what was going on in the SE. very satisfying when I got there ^^
