    If I solved a cryptic without help, it must be easy - mission accomplished! Thanks!

      Good job! Cheers!

      This is my first cryptic I've ever tried. Thanks for making it well-labeled and fun!

        Nice cryptic! Might want to check your clue for 8D though 😛
        • Lego constructor · 2023-10-06T10:07:32.360Z
          😆 !! i saw that and changed it from 'right before' to 'right after' ... didn't really fix it though eh! 😝 i'll have to think about it

            Just a few things to note, since there are a couple clues that are kinda weird to me and it might help for future cryptics. 4A has the word in the clue without an indicator, like with 25A. I'd probably do "A kernel in a tree" for synonym and "Hides tiny but reveals fate".11D doesn't make too much sense to me but maybe I'm missing something. 13A is a 2,3 and not a 5, and that's all I can think of. Aside from a couple things, very fun cryptic

              Excellent! Thanks for the feedback, which I adopted. Good to keep me on my toes!

              I'm awful at cryptics, so even this "easy" puzzle was a challenge. Seriously. I did figure some of these out quite quickly, but it still took a lot of time and several checks, including going through the whole keyboard for the last letter.
              • Lego constructor · 2023-10-07T14:39:11.119Z
                Well good on you for sticking with it! I hope you enjoyed it!
              • Goldencryptic 13:54 · 2023-12-08T15:59:14.972Z
                Really enjoying the ones you've made and tagged as 'easy'...still challenging but really approachable, thank you!
                • Lego constructor · 2023-12-09T00:10:46.399Z
                  Awesome!! Glad you like them. I should do some more 'easy' ones – although I know they're not always so easy.
