    Nice theme! I found it pretty tricky with all the names but I bet somebody more fluent in pop culture would have no problem 😂. The only thing I didn't like were the unches in URBAN and ABLOH but I know those can be hard to avoid sometimes!
    • Mark Smith constructor · 2021-12-26T18:43:15.845Z
      Haha thanks! An "unch" is when there's a letter all on its own? Learn something new every day. I was trying to avoid but really wanted to get ABLOH in there :)

        Yeah exactly! Short for "unchecked square", it's a square that's missing either an across or down clue
        • calica 12:46 · 2021-12-26T20:37:58.646Z
          Yeah, it's short for "unchecked" since there's not a crossing word to disambiguate (that's a word and especially a letter I wouldn't have gotten without a Google search)

            That makes a lot of sense. I'm new to this and appreciate the tips!
