    Fun one, thanks!

      Thanks, nate!
    • Arty 🤓4:43 · 2024-05-27T01:47:43.339Z
      Wow, I loved all the clues, except for one. I didn't figure out 3D. The rest of them are some of the best I've seen here!
      • Jake A constructor · 2024-05-27T02:25:44.036Z
        Thank you, Arty! That is high praise. For 3D, “finishing” indicates the final letter of each preceding word. The definition starts immediately after.
        • Jeremy Kirkwood 🤓2:44 · 2024-05-27T13:14:54.767Z
          Neat.. but "finishers" might be a more accurate clue word? Or "all finishing"? Something to convey this applies to all the previous words. Loved the Rodin clue btw!
          • Jake A constructor · 2024-05-27T15:18:19.676Z
            Thanks, Jeremy. I struggled with finding the right clue word for this scenario. Finishers could work; I’m going to think on it some more. I appreciate it!
            • Jake A constructor · 2024-05-27T16:32:52.051Z
              I just edited the clue. It now begins: “Last of all, prisoner”
              • Arty 🤓4:43 · 2024-05-27T17:09:28.497Z
                That feels better!

          Had fun with this one!
          • Jake A constructor · 2024-05-28T00:14:29.340Z
            Excellent!
          • Aaron Riccio 🤓1:07 · 2024-05-29T13:17:24.024Z
            You've given high praise for Vilyat Khan in 1A and Rodin in 4A (I like learning about new people/art), so let me praise the definition of 3D, which you've nicely paired with a misdirecting penal surface. I like the elegance of 5A as well, and I think 1D is a well-deserved ? clue. 2D is the only one I might query, as to whether this should be "downhiller's head" (which I know no longer makes surface sense). I think the surface is tres magnifique, so I don't want to meddle, but that did stick out to me.
            • Jake A constructor · 2024-05-29T15:42:46.514Z
              Thanks, Aaron! This is meaningful and appreciated feedback. It took a little bit to nail down the wording (see comments with Jeremy above), as I wanted to stick with the penal theme. For 1D, I was thinking about using “bale-ful” but didn’t like how it presented; I decided the “?” would be sufficient. I had similar thoughts concerning 2D but other versions didn’t have the same flow. I am really glad you enjoyed this one!
              • Aaron Riccio 🤓1:07 · 2024-05-29T17:13:19.486Z
                I definitely think it shows when all the elements of a surface are working together as opposed to just being sufficiently cryptic, so kudos to you!
            • rjy 3:55 · 2024-05-30T15:54:43.386Z
              Fun, elegant solve!
              • Jake A constructor · 2024-06-04T00:17:22.058Z
                Thanks, rjy! Really happy you enjoyed it!

                I always rush through these minis and don't always notice the wordplay!
                • Jake A constructor · 2024-06-04T00:16:33.217Z
                  I’m glad you liked it, graham!
                • Arty 🤓4:43 · 2024-06-03T22:06:31.367Z
                  I think of punctuation as useful for the surface and for meta (e.g., "!" indicating &lit, "?" indicating offbeat/tricky semantic), but superfluous for the wordplay. So I didn't even notice the "missing" possessive of 2D!?
                  • Jake A constructor · 2024-06-04T00:20:13.065Z
                    Thanks, Arty! Glad it flowed well for you!

                    Good puzzle, thanks. I liked 1D, 3D.
