    Very cool! Took me a long time to figure out what was going on, even after getting the revealers 😂
    • Ben Zoon 12:24 · 2022-02-14T22:05:14.406Z
      Same. Oh I need to read the title closer, ha.

        It might be less obvious to some but in cryptics, "love" almost always means the letter O. The theme might not have been obvious enough hehe

      bottom line again! nice... i was convinced it was PPS (post-post-script) and oilcap sounded like something a tin man could wear... and never found my mistake lol
      • capybara 🤓10:35 · 2022-02-14T22:34:07.169Z
        nearly gave up on this haha, glad i persevered!

          LOVEd it! The theme hit as I was working through the northeast corner, after having given up on the northeast. I'd started out with a string "O_" rebuses before realizing what the revealer was saying. Very clever and well-constructed!
          • Duncan Lyle 🤓5:10 · 2022-02-18T21:20:58.641Z
            *Meant that the northWEST corner was where I moved on from early and returned to at the end. I gotta work on that proofreading!
          • Aaron 🤓4:34 · 2022-02-19T00:11:17.243Z
            Tricky and very clever! I kept trying to enter the top row as a rebus so it took some time to realize what I was doing wrong.

              when 11x11 isn’t quite big enough lol

                lol

                Had 2-letter rebuses in the top row but the across answers didn't make any sense... then it hit me. Clever!
                • Luc 🤓8:03 · 2022-02-22T18:01:29.830Z
                  Nice! This was a fun interpretation of the theme
