  I don't think I've ever seen that clue used for the fill at 1-A before, but it's totally valid and I wonder why other puzzlers don't employ it. Anyhow, that made this a fun challenge - thank you!

    Same here—none of the suggested hints were like that but that’s what I immediately think of when I read PFFT

  Think I would've struggled without the anagram hint for BOREDOM! Nice one.

    I didn’t tag it as a rebus puzzle so that was my hint at it hope it was a good aha moment

  Good one. Should be tagged as rebus I think. I really enjoyed it

    I kinda like letting people figure out that it’s a rebus on their own, but I still threw the solver a bone with “anagram of BEDROOM” to be sure they got it

  love the red dot smack dab in the middle and PFFT was a great clue as well

    It was hard to keep it in the middle! Here’s my list of 7-letter words with RED in the middle: Boredom Firedog Foredid Reredos Heredes I just went with the first two, they made the most sense to me
