    i solved the puzzle, but i'm not entirely sure i get the theme--i think something is removed (the "PLAGUE") but i don't know what is
    • Adam constructor · 2024-04-23T23:51:04.923Z
      It's a reference to the first of the ten plagues, where God turns the water of the Nile to blood. Similarly, this puzzle turns instances of WATER into the blood groups (A, B, O, and AB).

        ohh! thank you, this is such a smart theme!

            Ah, lovely! I too solved it, but the theme is too clever by half for me. Thanks!

              One of the plagues of Egypt was turning water to blood, and each theme clue leads to a phrase with WATER, but its entry replaces "WATER" with a blood group (A, B, O, AB): [WATER]-BASED -> [A]BASED; [WATER]LOGGED -> [B]LOGGED; STANDING [WATER] -> STANDING [O]; [WATER] STAIN -> [AB]STAIN.

              Fun, thank you!
              I think the clue for:
              • 2D has a stray "did"
              • 43D is not rendering properly for me
              • AuLeaf 🤓7:23 · 2024-04-24T00:37:06.491Z
                Yeah, the Đ doesn't render for me either.
