    That was great and a bit tough! I couldn’t find my error and discovered I had BOILED for FOILED
    25ALike some leftovers?[------]
    . 🥸 The clue for FREAKIEST
    18AKinkier than all the rest[---------]
    is missing an “i” and the clue for 53D
    53DEnding to pos-, as- and ob-[----]
    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
      15ALocations on the net[----]
      could be pluralized (though I guess loc. could be short for locations?) and the dupe of CAP
      29DA mushroom hat?[---]
      and CAPOFF
      43A"I take my ___ to you, good sir"[------]
      - 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
          58ARuler in Russia[----]
          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.
