I struggled at first bc my initial impulse for 1 across turned out to belong in 5 down instead. But once I cleared that and focused on the down clues everything fell into place. ☺️
same!
truly loving the jokes, thanks for the jokes <3
@revedeshautbois, ha! 100% same. i filled in 1 across thinking hmm, i’m not sure that’s the word i’d use for that. how satisfying for that to be resolved with a later clue!
1 across followed by 6 across cracked me up, excellent work
41 seconds! got everything from the A clues alone so I had to go back and read the D clues just for fun
Really struggled w 6-across as a self-id’d pillow princess. How to choose from so many top options!?
1min 22! loved the 1 across 5 down combo
