    What a lovely theme and smooth grid! Nice one Philip 😊

      Thanks Mike! I wanted to do a farewell-themed puzzle for my last day of work, so this is what I came up with. This is also the first puzzle I did with vertical symmetry instead of conventional 180º rotational due to the length of the themers

      Wow! Fun, smooth and really amusing. Now, I’m wondering about those tombstones...

        Thanks! Me too... I tried to work “Free at last, free at last! Thank God Almighty I’m free at last” into an earlier version of the puzzle

            Fun! Definitely like the tombstone theme!
            • Philip Chow constructor · 2021-05-01T17:47:29.446Z
              thanks! hope the theme wasn't too morbid... i figured since the epitaphs were catchphrases/song lyrics associated with their life, it's a nice way of honoring them

                Totally agree!
