    Nice! 2D and 4D are my favourites, great surface readings :)

      Thanks, Nate! I think those are my fave two, as well.

        Yeah, 4d cracked me up in hindsight, creative! Thx

      Oh yeah, that's the stuff! Nice puzzle. Shout-out to 6A. I think your clues are improving with each post (not that they were bad before) Very clever, keep it up :)

        Thanks! And thanks for recognizing 6A! That was a fun one.

          Good puzzle! Slightly thrown by 2D using S as an abbreviation for SAINTS rather than ST or STS, but a fun solve regardless!

            Thanks! I was discarding two esses and was looking for something I had not yet used. “Saints” fit the bill nicely and has historical reference. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
