    The square the in the lower left corner seems like it ought to be an O, not a 0, but maybe there's a pun I missed.

      Yikes! How embarrassing! That was a goof-up on my part. I wasn't sure how to edit the puzzle itself, so I added the "O" version as an alternate solution. Thanks for catching that!

      Thank you! For me the lower left corner (1D/5D) did not accept an "O" (but it worked when I tried a zero or "0").
      • Hydrologist Guy constructor · 2024-09-28T19:07:48.966Z
        Sorry about that. I'm duly embarrassed...
      • Darth 🤓1:56 · 2024-09-28T18:29:43.979Z
        Yeah, I was wondering about that O/0 thing, too. ;)
        • Hydrologist Guy constructor · 2024-09-28T19:39:25.333Z
          My apologies!
          • Darth 🤓1:56 · 2024-09-28T21:56:31.511Z
            No worries. It just added some mystery to your puzzle. haha :D
        • Hydrologist Guy constructor · 2024-09-28T19:04:41.629Z
          I apologize to everyone for screwing up. I hope I fixed it. It's a good thing I'm not a heart surgeon or something, where screw-ups could be fatal!!

            Liked this one a lot! Fun rhyming clues, too. :)
            • Hydrologist Guy constructor · 2024-09-29T12:25:58.512Z
              Thanks so much!
            • BeWritten 🤓5:11 · 2024-09-29T14:44:33.965Z
              Loved it! Always look forward to your new ones
              • Hydrologist Guy constructor · 2024-09-29T18:46:16.006Z
                I appreciate that! Thank you!

                My first one of yours... quite fun!
                • Hydrologist Guy constructor · 2024-10-04T00:05:55.267Z
                  Thank you!
                • Adrian Mouat 🤓2:39 · 2024-10-03T20:11:58.252Z
                  Nice! Maybe shouldn't have "limb" in the clue
                  • Hydrologist Guy constructor · 2024-10-04T00:06:54.918Z
                    I appreciate that! The way I look at it, some clues need the extra boost....
                  • Zack Johnson 🤓1:00 · 2024-10-03T20:41:48.033Z
                    Nice!
                    • Hydrologist Guy constructor · 2024-10-04T00:07:41.995Z
                      Thanks! That was my first call-out ever in "puzzles of the week"!

                      Oh, my what a pleasure. Though I am no poet, and I even know it!
                      • Hydrologist Guy constructor · 2024-10-04T17:04:55.392Z
                        Ah, but you are a poet! Clearly!
