    Fittingly, there are seven "seas" in the themed entries/grid. Thanks to Brian for test solving!
  • Sommersmith 🤓2:50 · 2024-02-17T03:59:21.947Z
    Great theme set and impressively oblique definitions - I really tried to work CORGI at 11A, COMPOUND at 25A and COBRA or CORAL at 37A.

      This was excellent!

          Being autistic, I really struggle with cryptics and sometimes puzzles more abstract like this. I didn’t understand the sea clues at all. Could you explain how it works?
          • Evelyn Anderson 21:35 · 2024-02-17T19:42:52.179Z
            I think this one was a play on the word "sea" and the letter "c" sounding the same - all words that started with "sea" in the clue had c as the first letter. It took me a little bit haha, but fun puzzle! Hope that helps :)
            • Raven 9:28 · 2024-02-22T17:02:06.108Z
              It did! Thanks. :)

            Fun, thank you! I really enjoy seeing the very different interpretations of the theme (nice choice, @rakennedy16!)
            • girlcow 🤓4:34 · 2024-02-18T16:09:45.394Z
              really fun!

                Clever!!!

                  it’s a clever puzzle which I enjoyed

                      Very nice, once I quit trying to overcomplicate it:)
                      • Jacob Reed 🤓6:11 · 2024-02-25T03:30:44.823Z
                        Wow this one’s great! Love the cluing on OCLOCK and also all the C-words were great double meanings. I definitely fell for them and started out with COBRA, CONCRETE etc etc
                        • benchen71 🤓4:21 · 2024-03-05T04:27:27.545Z
                          A worthy winner!

                            Great puzzle, congrats on the win!! At first I was like "Hey, Zuma is the sea dog!" but then I was like "ohh that kind of 'sea.'" Well done!

                              At first, I was skeptical about any puzzle topping mine in the contest, but after solving this, I concede. ;) A well-deserved victory!
