Constructor's Note
I've been too busy to keep to schedule, but this is a theme I came up with a few weeks ago - let me know what you think!

    Delightful
    • Raspberrygoop constructor · 4 months ago
      Thanks for the kind word
    • Great theme, really smooth!
      • Raspberrygoop constructor · 4 months ago
        Hey thanks again - there are some weak areas, but the theme came together pretty well!
      • kurtalert 🤓5:30 · 4 months ago
        great!
        • Brian Callahan 🤓4:59 · 4 months ago
          Fun one!
          • Raspberrygoop constructor · 4 months ago
            Thanks mate! I feel like I'm improving, and the feedback is very uplifting.

            Loved it
            • emmie 🤓5:20 · 4 months ago
              Really fun theme!
              • Raspberrygoop constructor · 4 months ago
                Thanks again for playing and the feedback!
              • Wally 🤓4:53 · 4 months ago
                That was awesome. Such a satisfying revealer too
                • Raspberrygoop constructor · 4 months ago
                  Cheers! Yeah this one is a little on the obscure side, but it comes together nicely enough.

                  Oh wow that was tricky!!!!!
                  • Raspberrygoop constructor · 4 months ago
                    Gotta keep you on your toes ❤️
                  • Nick 22:33 · 4 months ago
                    Great theme as usual!
                  • kieranjboyd 🤓4:31 · 4 months ago
                    Great that you found so many theme words! I could only find WHITEHOT as a spare
                    • Raspberrygoop constructor · 4 months ago
                      Well done! Yes I found a few combinations I liked more than what I ended up using in 26-across
                      26A*A venomous snake / A character from Archie[---------]
                      , but none of them would fit the letter count for symmetry. I don't think I ever had WHITEHOT, so you got that over me!
                    • Slothrop 🤓14:59 · 4 months ago
                      Put your head on the block...haha!
                      • Raspberrygoop constructor · 4 months ago
                        Haha thanks. I really struggled to come up with a title that wasn't just "Decapitated" or "Heading awry". Don't want to give away the game too soon!
                      • skelly 🤓10:09 · 4 months ago
                        Very enjoyable!
                        • Slime Hudson 🤓12:30 · 4 months ago
                          awesome theme! once I figured it out, I was incredibly amazed at how you put it all together. really cool!
                          • Raspberrygoop constructor · 4 months ago
                            Thanks! It was a blast to write up - I think I went through almost every possible combination of words that end in -head.
                          • friend 🤓12:14 · 4 months ago
                            That was really fun thank you!
