    Took me a while to sort out the two crossings I wasn’t sure about (LAPS/PAREU and MEZUZAH/LIZ).
    That stack of 7s is so impressive - as well as the fact that if LAGER/LIZ was WAGER/WIZ, this would also be a pangram.
    And my personal COW award (@kieranjboyd knows what I’m talking about) goes to BUNKBED (though I’ve seen a bunch of top-notch clues in other puzzles recently)
    (On a serious note, tagging @mike as well - wouldn’t it be interesting to include a few clues of note in the weekly email? Though maybe there are too many to pick from)

      I think that would be awesome! One hiccup is that the list of puzzles is generated automatically based on # of solves. Picking top clues would likely require manual work on behalf of the editor (aka me), which I'm not sure I have time for at the moment. At some point it would be cool for solvers to be able to "like"/"star" clues and maybe that could be a mechanism for automating the decision making.
      Not sure if you saw in the Discord but for the next few months we'll hopefully have guest editors each week for the email. If you're interested in taking a week and giving COW a shot that would be great! Just reach out to me.

        Hershey’s! 😂 Lots of fun clues in this puzzle, great job!

          Really excellent puzzle!

            Excellent as always! I love how your puzzles lean into both modern entries (PATREON, QUEEREYE, DOJACAT) and all those misdirects (of which my favourite was DINESON). I too was expecting the pangram, but with the stacks of seven this crossword is impressive enough. Thanks!
