    Nice one! Definitely didn't find it too easy - I almost gave up a couple of times but glad I stuck with it!
    • Aaron constructor · 2022-02-18T23:07:56.216Z
      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 19D, and I wouldn't say 37A was difficult per SE, but the "aha" definitely took a couple seconds and was a very fun clue.
      • Aaron constructor · 2022-02-18T23:56:59.914Z
        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.
        • Duncan Lyle 🤓5:36 · 2022-02-19T01:45:19.266Z
          Haha, I wouldn't say either of us "took" the other's theme at all! We just both had the same great idea. 😎
          • Aaron constructor · 2022-02-19T03:03:02.523Z
            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!
        • Aaron constructor · 2022-02-19T00:13:11.071Z
          Thanks! The grid art wasn't intentional actually! I just thought the theme would work well with L/R symmetry.

                1D had me fooled, I thought it was TOOTH! Nice theme although I wish "heart" would have split in different ways.
