    Fun, thanks!

      Thanks for solving!

      How do the Gs work?
      • Pair O Ducks constructor · 2023-03-10T17:44:10.651Z
        I was going for UPDOG and then attempting to sneak both PANGS and PANSY into the last one, to carry through on the theme of double clues. I think I could probably have clued that better, to be honest!
      • woozy 3:11 · 2023-03-10T16:13:22.460Z
        Oh... backsolving I now get the clues! Very clever. Hard as hell, but great!

          Thanks for checking out my puzzle! "Difficult" was the goal, but hopefully still gettable!
        • woozy 3:11 · 2023-03-10T16:11:16.280Z
          Okay.... I got nowhere with Sun Ra yesterday (only musician from outer space I could think of) but today I though "the title is 'Spiders'" so.... but .... I'm afraid I can't backsolve and I only understand one or two of the eight clues....
