    Oo-de-lally!
    • Mike D 🤓8:40 · 2021-02-24T13:16:30.798Z
      Wow great puzzle! I was completely lost on the theme until I got SHERWOOD - was too focused on the chess aspect.
      • Daniel P costruttore · 2021-02-24T16:00:38.378Z
        Bit of a misdirect, but I liked hinting at the medieval theme. Nice solve regardless!
      • William Deere 🤓12:17 · 2021-02-24T14:30:49.997Z
        Loved it! So many great clues (even outside the theme) that I can't pick one.
        • Daniel P costruttore · 2021-02-24T16:04:29.354Z
          Much appreciated!

          ... though I think ADONIS wins because it fooled me for a while

            Struggled a bit with the upper left corner (UHAIRY TILDEN ORLOP MYS was a tough combo) but, so many clever clues... TRES is genius
            • Daniel P costruttore · 2021-02-25T13:10:21.222Z
              Thanks! Yeah I thought people might struggle there, but it was my last corner to fill and I was too lazy to restart it as a 15x15. Nice job solving!

              Also, was unsure about the theme. Robin Hood but also chess? Are the chess pieces just sort of thematically correlated with the robin hood characters, or was there some more direct relation that I was missing?
              • Daniel P costruttore · 2021-02-25T20:04:39.511Z
                I mainly just wanted a set of similar-ish symbols that could be repeated to connect two entries and chess pieces were a broad enough set. I then just went with broad associations from character to piece. I admit I'm still learning how to construct with clarity in mind 😅
                • Ben Shindel 🤓12:50 · 2021-02-26T00:02:01.415Z
                  Oooooh! See, I didn't even pick up on the connections between each of the pairs of clues! That's just my oversight though
              • Kent D 🤓22:34 · 2021-02-27T15:01:15.275Z
                Great puzzle! I think my favorite was TILDEN because yo hablo español y el "~" is a real problem sometimes! (I didn't know the Governor of New York so I had to look him up, and when I saw his name I lol'd 😂 ) Thanks for the fun solve.
                • Daniel P costruttore · 2021-02-27T17:11:57.513Z
                  Haha, glad you enjoyed, and good solve! I suspected the name was a bit obscure so I had some fun with it.
