    Thank you! In 6A I think her name is spelled "Dory" (which its a tiny difference but would've helped me out).

      Great catch!

        Good puzzle, thanks. I don't get the meta.

          Correction, this one’s hidden clue is “ale” and several different types of noteably hops-forward ale are acceptable answers with IPA being the most common right answer

            Unfortunately the blog description isn’t working on Puzzle #1, but basically the main clue for each of these puzzles are the 2 words in () in the title. Then there’s a not so hidden 2nd clue in the grid, so far the last 3 letters of each word spelling the same thing. In this one it was “ice” & when combined with the main clue “other phases” you get the 2 correct answers: water & steam
