Themeless, Schmemeless!

◆ · Di Aaron · Pubblicato 2022-02-09T22:46:45.220Z

Constructor's Note
15x15 70-word themeless. Mainly a practice run at a low-word open grid; the fill probably could be smoother and less PPP-heavy. Aiming for old-school NYT Friday difficulty.

    Great puzzle! I couldn't get FSERIES but it seems so obvious now 😂

      Fun! I had DIRTPLATE for the longest time thinking "that's a fun way to phrase eat dirt". Whoops! :)

        I might like DIRTPLATE more actually! (IMO it's just as green-painty as DIETPLATE but somehow DIETPLATE's the one that scored on my wordlist)

        nice
        • Ben Zoon 24:38 · 2022-02-10T21:41:09.857Z
          But two of the helper squares are necessary for the theme, so IMO they don't really count!
          • Aaron costruttore · 2022-02-10T23:15:25.610Z
            I like that you call them helper squares instead. I'll have to remember that next time I add some to a grid!
