    For those who might not be as well-versed in Phish's catalogue, the songs referenced are: Tweezer Reprise, Lawn Boy, Farmhouse, It's Ice, Prince Caspian

      thanks for the puzzle - enjoyed the wacky clues even though i wasn't familiar with phish (i googled them afterwards and nice touch that you hid their names in the constructor's notes as well)

        Thank you!

        5 themers is a lot to cram into a puzzle... did you consider making a 17x17 instead to hash out the 2 letter entries and unchecked squares in the middle?
        • Nick constructor · 2023-07-25T02:04:14.348Z
          Yeah I wasn't thrilled with the two letter entries and the awkward middle. I didn't even think of just expanding the grid a little. That's a great idea and I'll definitely try that next time.

          Really fun! Not a Phish guy so the theme didn't help me at all, but the grid was fun anyway!
          • Nick constructor · 2023-07-25T02:04:24.598Z
            Glad you enjoyed!

            Nice, I think even if I was a phish fan I'd have struggled with the themers :P
