No Von Trapps Were Harmed In The Making Of This Puzzle

◆◆ · By Resident Mutt · Published 2024-04-06T14:21:11.763Z

Today's memo: If your puzzle requires 8 themers, just say no to that part of your brain.
Also, 19A is screaming for a cryptic clue along the lines of Actress Miller ain't back! (4)! We'll work on the specifics later though!

        Fun puzzle, thank you!
        I don't want to be be the bearer of bad news, but in 43A I think it's sol and not so. Might be fixable though!
        Happy to share other feedback if desired.

          Hey, thanks for the feedback! This one I am at least confident on - sol vs so is very much a personal preference thing (I've seen music teachers almost come to blows on that point - the equivalent of how to pronounce scone, which also has a very strictly correct answer(!))
