- girlcow costruttore · circa un mese faplease let me know what you think of the fill,, i’m not sure how i feel about it! i apologize if it was too tough in places. thanks for solving <3
- hazmat 🤓6:44 · circa un mese faFun theme! Fair crosses.
- Capn Rick 🤓7:21 · circa un mese faAs an old sea captain, I particularly enjoyed this one, girlcow.
- JeffsPuzzles 🤓5:01 · circa un mese faClever and well-executed, though it took me a couple of tries to spell 2 Down correctly. Thanks!
- SonOfaChipwich 11:23 · circa un mese faIs "nan" an alternate spelling of naan? I can't find anywhere else that spells it that way!
- girlcow costruttore · circa un mese faIt’s listed on Wiktionary as an alternate spelling- and it’s been clued as Indian bread in the NYT crossword plenty of times. Though honestly I would never spell naan this way normally, and wouldn’t have clued it this way if not to tie in with RUPEES
- sum-earth 30:51 · circa un mese faReally nice one!
- Sendhil Revuluri 🤓3:37 · circa un mese faLoved the solve, the theme, and many of the clues! (Especially liked 52A because I remember seeing so many SURGEON FISH during my first time snorkeling at length a couple years ago.)The fill was actually really clean! The only entry I felt was at all off was 31A since that is not a usual spelling. The only clue tweak that stood out was 22A where I’d say “Gators’ kin” since then it’s more parallel (informal names). (And agree with Jeff on 2D which I never know how to spell, but that's all me!)
- namitea 14:02 · circa un mese faReally good!

- CJ 🤓10:32 · 25 giorni faClever with some good fill. Cheers!
- Mike Ellison 20:12 · 25 giorni faI like the puzzle @girlcow and the theme concept you had. I thought a lot of the cluing was terrific ("Ranch hand's handful" had me laughing out loud).You're probably already aware in the fill that consistency in the theme entries is typically valued among publishers, so having all the aquatic elements either appear at the front or at the back adds consistency there (it means not having both GAMESQUID and SHARKLOAN for example, but picking one direction and building all to match that pattern). And DENIECE and NIECE is a pretty big overlap, especially among crossing words. But that said, I really like the direction you were going with this, and the "flipping" of a commonly known two-word phrase is a neat hook for a puzzle like this. It was fun for me!
- Jim23809 🤓4:43 · 25 giorni faI always solve by doing all the acrosses, then all the downs, then another shot at across and another at downs, and only then jumping around to empty spots. Solved it on my second across run, so not that hard.
- Makin 22:34 · 25 giorni fathat bottom left corner kicked my ass (and I still don't get the pun in fish surgeon... kept trying words like reef because it kind of sounds like chief...) otherwise awesome and clever
- Aintitnice 27:31 · 24 giorni faI had a great time solving this one! Nice work
- Moose Dixon 29:35 · 15 giorni faThe theme gave me a good aha moment.
