    More great stuff across the board, 1A is very satisfying. And 3D is really nice too. I don’t think the “e.g.” is really necessary in 1D, and I feel the “flipped’s” in 2D is kinda awkward, I would’ve just left it “flipped is”. But those are my only nitpicks, I really enjoyed it, thanks!

        Agreed, great puzzle. 6A is especially nice! I’m gonna disagree with dilly re 1D, I personally would prefer a definition by example indicator here (Curry doesn’t define Steph), but that’s definitely just personal preference. Thanks for the puzzle!

          I can see that. My thinking is that, though Curry doesn’t define Steph, they are synonymous in the sense that they are two different words that refer to the same thing. Especially in the context of sports where players are regularly called by their last name.
