Smol puzzle 

Ooh the x got me. But I got it eventually. Nicely done!

I'm new. How do I look at the crossword again?

Nevermind. The language one. I've never seen that one before

Great puzzle! The clue for 62A definitely gave me pause 😆

Ball game

Nice one! I managed to get most of them I think - very fun!

Cryptic #1

That was a fun one - though perhaps not the best just before lunch.  :)  
I think the clue "5 Someone whose adept at counting, in short" may have a typo (who's vs. whose), but fortunately it didn't affect the puzzle.

Themeless with a bit of Indian food 

Loved it! Fun theme and great clues throughout.

Pork Chop 

Some more

nice to see ATTA in a puzzle that isn't clued "___ boy (or girl)!".. I get hungry whenever I see food in the puzzle - roti, sushi, snoball...🤤

Salty towards the end

Sweet at first 

Nice one - I liked following the story as I solved!

Glad you liked it ! I figured there should be more fictional gay representation in crime

"Most handsome character in Aladdin" ahaha love it

Great puzzle - I was on the edge of my seat! Poor Ed and Roy :'(

Break a leg 

Very nice! I think something might have gotten chopped off of the clue for DATEMOVIE?

lol not sponsored by anyone... i want taco bell now... fun puzzle, really enjoyed this one :)

Ha! Loved the little “we interrupt...” clues. And I always enjoy a healthy dose of pop culture in puzzles, really fun one!
Can’t believe you didn’t take the chance at a Catherine OHARA clue though.. she’s brilliant ;)

Glad you liked it. I'm sorry, the One piece clue came into my head first
