    Ask me here if there's any parsing you weren't sure of!

      Very nice! I think I got about half of them but the rest I'm able to figure out after revealing 😊. Can you explain AGAR though?
      • quatrevingtneuf costruttore · 2021-10-06T14:51:50.628Z
        agar is a growth medium, and ”regular” indicates taking alternating letters of lArGe AfRO

          Clever! Thank you

        Nice pangram! I don't see how the wordplay for 35A is instructing you to take the O from envoy (on the surface it feels like it should be operating on jealousy), and for a while I had 3D transposed. I'm slightly dubious of 31D, as I feel the contraction is simply for the surface
        • quatrevingtneuf costruttore · 2021-10-07T03:44:26.313Z
          yeah 35A isn’t optimal (the intent is to read it as if there’s an extra comma, but it’s defs not the strongest clue of the bunch)
          31D feels pretty legit to me? it’s pretty common for a clue to be structured as “[definition] is [wordplay]”
