- Nice one! Definitely didn't find it too easy - I almost gave up a couple of times but glad I stuck with it!
- Thanks. I feel like I've improved at gauging the difficulty of my own puzzles but everyone's knowledge and life experience is different. Your easy Tuesday could be my tricky Thursday.
- Great puzzle! And I have to say, I really liked the theme.
I chuckled at 19D19DCoolest member of Green Day?[---], and I wouldn't say 37A37ALeave cake out on the counter, say[-----]was difficult per SE, but the "aha" definitely took a couple seconds and was a very fun clue.- Thanks! I just started working through the contest submissions and now I feel bad for "taking" your theme. Definitely a bit eerie that we posted our puzzles around the same time.
- Haha, I wouldn't say either of us "took" the other's theme at all! We just both had the same great idea.
- Good way of putting it! As they say, great minds think alike. I always appreciate seeing how multiple people approach the same theme.
- Great grid art, great fill -- fantastic puzzle!
- Thanks! The grid art wasn't intentional actually! I just thought the theme would work well with L/R symmetry.
- RIIS17ASocial reformer Jacob[----]
gonna have to add that to my crosswordese list. nice theme and pleasant xword - 1D1DGnasher in a mouth[-----]had me fooled, I thought it was TOOTH! Nice theme although I wish "heart" would have split in different ways.
