liked the amount of spoonerisms there are--while it made solving the puzzle pretty difficult, it was fun to see in hindsight what the clues were. this is very impressive for your first puzzle!

for your future puzzles, i recommend a few things: ideally, both parts of the grid should connect (right now, the top half feels like a separate puzzle from the bottom half). you want to have each square be part of two answers, so that every square is crossed twice (hence a "cross"word :P). as an example, the B square in BATH/BUS is crossed, since it's part of both BATH and BUS, but the A in BATH isn't, as there's only one answer that uses that letter. i recommend seeing how other people do grid shapes, and getting inspiration from them :)

really, really impressive crossword for your first one--especially considering this had a gimmick to make writing clues harder! i can't wait to see more from you :)

Hey, thanks a lot for your feedback and the suggestions. I'll keep them in mind for the next time. I can imagine how the shape and crossings in the crossword could have overall improved it. I guess, I got carried away with the gimmick than the crossword while constructing. Thanks!
