    Another awesome puzzle! Not 100% sure, but there might be a typo in the 23A clue. ☺️
    • Elle constructor · 2023-09-26T17:04:55.690Z
      Yup, thanks :D
    • E Ang 🤓6:55 · 2023-09-26T01:30:53.543Z

          Nice puzzle!! Thank you for teaching me something new - had to google EGGCORN afterwards… in my head these were all malapropisms but they have one extra layer because they sound like they could be plausible things
          • Elle constructor · 2023-09-26T17:06:11.742Z
            glad you liked it!

                Great theme! Very nice choice to put the eggcorns in the clues — made the more accessible even if I couldn't figure out exactly how to parse it. So made me think if there is a more challenging variant possible by using the eggcorns at the themers… this is a nice list from NPR if anyone wants to run with it!
