              Awesome job! Great symmetrical placement of fun theme entries and no clunkers in the fill. You nailed it! If you haven't done so already, you should consider creating meta puzzles. There's a great group of meta enthusiasts on the XWord Muggles Forum (https://www.xword-muggles.com/index.php). Stop by sometime!

                Thank you! I was a little disappointed by some of the fills. In particular there were several prefixes, which seem weaker than having full words. And thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to check that out.

                What Capn Rick said. For a meta that uses some material you might find familiar, see the puzzle Do You Hear What I Hear, published about six months ago. More recently (18 days ago) there was Close But No, based on malapropisms.
