      Concur, very smooth, though im much too slow on the uptake for you smarties... I didn't see how to get tie from dot in 3d... unless it's a fill in the ellipsis? Unique... or perhaps I'm miles away... which is the distance I should be from you lot... but I never learn... sorry

        Crap nvm i just reread the clue and got it... I wish I could delete my very stupid comments... merlin fails so many times its not even funny at this point...

          A better way of looking at it, perhaps, was that my deceptive punctuation initially succeeded ;) I am trying to make it a LITTLE hard for you, after all.

            Appreciate you taking time out from your impressive daily output to give it a solve; glad you enjoyed.

            loved 3!

              Thanks for taking a break from the Browser backlog to check it out! That was definitely my favorite clue.

              Really liked 4a and 5a!

                I miss your stream! I'm glad you're still finding time to solve, and honored that you did mine. (Those two clues were the ones with the most revision, so I'm glad I fought to make them work!)

                The nina helped out a bit for sure. I'm surprised noone has mentioned it yet?
                • Aaron Riccio constructor · 2024-01-24T16:11:53.573Z
                  Yeah, I thought it might be nice to subtly provide some openings, so I'm glad it helped. This particular grid shape leaves me open to doing that with actual words in the future, too, so perhaps you'll see a more-checked-than-expected Sneaky Six in the future.
