      Fun! Glad you're back!

        Very clever puzzle! I thought I had to do something with the clues that had the state names of the schools in them so I was messing with that for a while until I finally looked again at the themers.

          Me too! I had to ask a muggle for a nudge before I stopped looking at those.

          Enjoyed it!
