    Great puzzle! Kind of embarrassing but I only just learned that a rude person was a BOOR and not a BOAR 😂. Time for the meta!
    • Pandora's Blocks Weekly Meta Crossword costruttore · 2021-04-25T16:09:24.055Z
      I think if you called someone a BOAR it would have the same effect, so it's close enough for me! lol

        same! was my last square, had no idea
        • Mike D 9:33 · 2021-04-25T17:00:42.903Z
          Makes me feel better that I’m not the only one! 😂
      • MamaEllen 🤓17:46 · 2021-04-25T15:42:10.341Z
        Nice one!
      • mpmanning 47:51 · 2021-04-26T00:42:54.886Z
        Neat!
      • Taylor Johnson 15:59 · 2021-04-26T02:52:51.012Z
        This one was a lot of fun, now to figure out the meta!
        • Taylor Johnson 15:59 · 2021-04-26T02:54:58.203Z
          Also, halfway through I realized this puzzle isn’t rotationally symmetrical.. feels so different haha
          • Pandora's Blocks Weekly Meta Crossword costruttore · 2021-04-26T13:09:11.491Z
            Yup! Some construction constraints made me change up the symmetry a bit. But I kind of like it - a little bit of a fresh feel!
            • Taylor Johnson 15:59 · 2021-04-26T20:33:40.798Z
              It did feel fresh! Also, today’s NYT puzzle was also mirror symmetry, not rotational... must be new trend!
          • Tony H 🤓5:54 · 2021-04-29T15:14:17.838Z
            Hey -- new to these, but they're really well made.
            Question about the meta -- is the athlete a specific one, or just a type of athlete? Or is that too specific a question to ask?
            • Pandora's Blocks Weekly Meta Crossword costruttore · 2021-04-29T18:39:05.320Z
              Thanks! Glad you're enjoying them! That's a perfectly valid question - I'm looking for a specific athlete's name as the answer to this one.
            • spikeydlux 🤓7:11 · 2021-04-30T17:33:32.243Z
              My first cw here, really enjoyed this one!

                The title and the entries birdie, eagle, and albatross obviously point to golf, but that's where my train of thought runs out of steam.
