I heartily agree with the other comments; lots of fun!

Lots of fun -- especially when I stopped thinking so either/or!

What a sweet puzzle, Peter!

Challenging grid but fun meta!

Tough grid but fun!

I've never seen or heard the term "one-o-cat". We played "work-up". Fine grid and meta, Peter. Thanks for the entertainment.

Lovely Valentines puzzle.

Fun! But I must admit, I was impatient and asked another Muggle for a nudge.

Brilliant grid that took us all day to complete, but well worth it and a lot of fun. The elaborate meta was also very clever and fun. Bravo, Peter!

Great puzzle for Valentines Day! Thanks, Peter!

Fun meta!

I noticed the "heart" references in the three long answers, but It took me another look to find all the SYNS that were hidden around. But I was still able to solve it "Han Solo" (without any nudges). lol Good one, Peter!
I sent you a PM. It’s consistent with the theme entries…

Took me a while and the nudges but got it! Fun puzzle Peter :-)

Good one!

Bringing up the rear, here. I just couldn’t get past HEART fitting in all of those word pairs:
LIONHEART / HEART ATTACK
SWEETHEART / HEARTLAND
HUNGRY HEART / HEARTSICK
So duh! Kevin Hart!
Alas, no, and it took me forever to back out of that rabbit hole to work the synonyms. Very clever puzzle, enjoyed it - even for as many times as I had to come back and revisit it!
