    Great puzzle - I love the FINDINGNEMO theme 🐠! I got stuck on POLANER/ERLE but had a great time trying.
    FYI some have suggested avoiding the various forms of ODSON or finding ways to clue them more sensitively - the way you clued it is pretty common but just a thought

      Thank you and I never want to be insensitive. Try the alternative now.

        Nice - I didn’t mean to call you out just thought you might appreciate knowing!
      • hbxwords constructor · 2021-06-26T14:02:04.239Z
        I'll modify that a bit - thanks!

          No, this is exactly what we need to know; if I could edit the grid post-publication I'd change that to ORSON / TOKER.
