                  Is "hard C community" a common phrase? I don't think I've heard it before and couldn't find it in a Google search. I thought the puzzle was fun otherwise, but I got stumped in the top right corner.

                    The word "community" begins (or "leads" in this case) with a hard C sound. That clue was a bit fiendish😈. Glad you enjoyed!

                    Spent a second trying to figure out if there was some way to squeeze "Walking on the Sun" into 10A

                        Fun puzzle. Interesting clue for 38A. Am I missing a joke or is there a reason for not going with something more straightforward?
                        • Brian Callahan constructor · 2023-04-20T19:04:57.451Z
                          Just felt like cluing it that way, TBH. Apologies to Ted Turner, Ted Danson, Ted Kennedy, Ted Cruz, Ted Williams, TedTalks, Ted from "How I Met Your Mother", Ted the bear from Seth MacFarlane's film, Ted Stevens, Ted Koppel, Ted Nugent, and Ted from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure". Actually...not Ted Cruz...screw that guy.
