    Nice one! I was about to give up on DAMUP before it finally came to me
    • Abide 🤓15:20 · 2022-02-10T01:42:56.097Z
      Although I’ve seen it many times, still had to look the character up. Doh! No apology fill with ALDI, DIAL, and SETSHOT 😉

        Always enjoy your puzzles, Emma. Thanks!

          Thanks Adam! I'm having one published in Universal tomorrow (2/10/22), as it happens, so I hope you try that one too!
          Also, and no shade to leisurely solvers, but I always appreciate seeing your solving times on my puzzles. If it took you more than about 5 minutes then I would really worry I'd made something too hard!

            Oh cool congrats - I did that one also (didn't notice it was yours, I'm inconsistent in checking bylines). It was a nice puzzle and theme! Took me 2:14:).
