- Heh spent a long time staring at this one before basically solving 20 across20AThe theme of this puzzle... NOT ;)[-----------]first
. Easier said than done!Fun puzzle Ben! - Good difficulty distribution even considering the theme, which managed to include every clue! Nice one. (I spent so long thinking of synonyms for "life" or "peace" or "plenty" before getting MESSIAH15AOne of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, perhaps[-------]
) - nice puzzle - really made me think!! IT'S vs ITS18AIt's[---]was the last thing i filled in... hahaha - oh i see what you did there ;)
- took me awhile to figure out what was going on... first thing i filled in was SETTING (for MELTING27ASolidifying[-------]), and then saw that INCA28DAztec, with regard to the North-South axis of the Americas[----]fit, but i thought wait wasn't INCA28DAztec, with regard to the North-South axis of the Americas[----]in peru? something weird is going on... and NEED29DWant[----]and WANT aren't the same thing? loved the AHA moment of this puzzle
- seanm 9:53聽路聽almost 2 years agoLove the title, that's what grabbed me right away! And then i love all the different ways you interpreted opposites! ITS18AIt's[---]vs IT'S was definitely one of my favorites. For 3D3DIs in the green[----], I usually hear that as "in that black," so that took me a while. Great fun overall!
