    I didn't get very many but I enjoyed parsing them out after revealing! Nice puzzle 😊

      I have added a page at crosshare.org/leigh for those who would like to try my previous (and more devious!) puzzle. More to come!

        My ability to solve a cryptic is "need to check after every word because I have no confidence in my ability to parse these out" but very impressive. I am still a bit confused on how to get "partial correspondence → LET" for REPLETE though.

          correspondence = letter :) But I concede that is a tough one, probably too tough.

            Too tough for me, definitely. Too tough in general, maybe but I'm not really sure how cryptic difficulty is calibrated, so...
