      Outside of 1A, this didn't feel overly obscure, and even with 1A, the hardest part for me was seeing room = WARD. Or maybe I'm just accustomed to the obscure, haha! Anyway, nice work. 2D's my favorite of the bunch.

        Yeah that is very fair. I did not know what words would be generally considered obscure, so I just went with words I did not know or heard of much. I titled it that as a fair warning that this might have words the solver is unaware of. I am glad you enjoyed it!

        I felt exactly the same as Aaron - really liked the vocabulary and clues, and only 1A gave me trouble. Great return to setting!

          I see, thank you!
