      Fun, thank you! Very smooth. I hadn't really gotten how much more content there is in a barred crossword. (What do the starred clues mean?)

        Thanks for solving! Are you trying to say you did not understand the theme?
        • Sendhil Revuluri 🤓2:30 · 2024-03-23T23:21:29.420Z
          Yes… I belatedly re-read the clue for 1D (which I hadn’t really digested on my initial solve) but still don’t see the GAME OVER in each starred entry. Thank you!
          • dooiemus constructor · 2024-03-24T00:24:05.937Z
            Each starred entry contains a game, but in reverse, ie "over", cryptically... I really should try and take a non-cryptic approach for my next contest submission, I feel...

      Very nice! I haven't tried to use that feature in Crosshare yet, but I like the results.
