    That was great and a bit tough! I couldn’t find my error and discovered I had BOILED for FOILED. 🥸 The clue for FREAKIEST is missing an “i” and the clue for 53D needs to get rid of “-pool” (if you were getting at “cesspool.” )

      Ooh! Good catches, thank you. Glad you enjoyed the puzzle.

      Nice one! I really liked the theme. Only thing I noticed is that maybe the clue for URLS could be pluralized (though I guess loc. could be short for locations?) and the dupe of CAP and CAPOFF - neither bothered me any, though!

        Haha, we noticed the twin entry but decided to leave it knowing that she wasn't destined for publication anyways. I've changed the clue for URLs - hoping that "net" works to clue that its an abbreviation now instead

        Fun puzzle! I puffed instead of huffed for bit but I got there in the end.

          This was lots of fun! As a NYT solver I was ready to just enter TSAR into 58A before I looked at the crosses. I almost missed the theme since the themers are the long downs but glad I looked again and found it.
