    Wicked awesome!
    • Capn Rick constructor · 2022-04-18T14:11:03.143Z
      Thanks, Josh. I certainly hear that phrase a lot around here!
    • rjy 2s · 2022-04-18T13:38:06.021Z
      Enjoyed it! Glad there was a solid click answer, after struggling with a few inferred options... And loved the inclusion of other thematic answers, like 73A 🤣
      • Capn Rick constructor · 2022-04-18T14:13:06.005Z
        Thanks for solving! I'm glad you caught 73A balancing 1A.
        • dplass 9:04 · 2022-04-18T14:45:16.618Z
          Hmm...I got the answer from the inferred clues. Maybe I'm missing the actual metanism after all!
          • dplass 9:04 · 2022-04-19T13:37:03.439Z
            Duh, I see it now. Facepalm.
            • Ergcat 20:12 · 2022-04-19T17:43:22.071Z
              Hmmmm, me too ( got it by inferred clues)
              • Ergcat 20:12 · 2022-04-20T01:08:10.093Z
                I see it now too! 😂
          • dplass 9:04 · 2022-04-18T13:33:24.074Z
            Hiss! Thanks for the puzzle despite Harvard being an arch rival to my alma mater. Go MIT!
            • Capn Rick constructor · 2022-04-18T14:14:42.729Z
              Didn't know you went to MIT, David. Great school! I'll have to come up with an MIT theme someday.
              • dplass 9:04 · 2022-04-18T20:42:51.175Z
                Yup, quite a few years ago but I still associate strongly with the Institute.
            • Darth 🤓16:54 · 2022-04-18T15:03:22.553Z
              Lol. That was wicked good!

                  Thanks for solving, Michael!

                  That was fun! Got sidetracked at first but finally saw the light. Thanks so much!

                      Funny puzzle-- enjoyed this one. Time for a Sam Adams to celebrate.
                      • Bbaack 🤓13:28 · 2022-04-18T22:25:55.346Z
                        Fun! Now I'm hungry for some clam chowda!
                        • wendy walker 4s · 2022-04-18T22:25:56.273Z
                          Driving home from the gym this morning I thought I had it solved: I should just look for the names of accents (e.g., aigu, tilde, cedilla) in the grid. Well, that went nowhere fast. Picked the puzzle up again at suppertime and -- there it was!
                          • Capn Rick constructor · 2022-04-18T23:42:13.863Z
                            Thanks for solving, Wendy! Glad you got it!

                              Perhaps. I'm a Penn State and UMass alum myself.
