    So smooth! Great puzzle Philip!

      Thanks for featuring my work Mike :) I'm not too crazy about the last themer being a plural whereas the rest are singular, but went with it anyway to maintain grid symmetry - and also just an excuse to dig up and post an old family photo
      • Mike D 🤓6:58 · 2021-05-17T12:55:05.650Z
        I was wondering if that might be a family photo - very cool 😊

          After enjoying your "I wanna be the very best" puzzle, I'm going back to do your others. They are so smooth and fun!

            Learning that a BABYPLATYPUS is called a puggle is amazing, thank you.

              Thanks! I actually didn’t know about “puggle” either until doing research before making the puzzle... it’s an unofficial term because it technically only applies to echidnas, but people use it for platypuses too
