Love the circled letters!
Wait-I can’t figure out what the circled letters mean!
Same, please explain :D
The revealer clue says “ascendant” which is a hint to read them going up :)
Ooh that’s brilliant! Thank you!
12min 22secs! The perfect focus for a hungover Saturday library shift.
Love love love the circled letters thing.
And never mad at a D&D theme :)
I loved this as always, and also got a new personal best!!! 06:32!!!
6:49, maybe my personal best? Y’all I’m LOVING these, thanks for the work on them!
Very clever re: the circled letters!
4:27 Great start to the weekend!
i am a dope and did not get the hint – now that i’ve seen it spelled out here, ha!
Took me wayyyy too long to figure out the circled letters hahaha. Loved it! Thank you for these, I’m so enjoying them!
A little over 9 minutes (with a few reveals tbh), fun puzzle as always! Love 24 down, that was a good payoff once I got it.
Reasonably happy with my 9:07. Very happy with the nerdy themes in this one. :)
4:19! I think that’s my personal best for an A+ crossword.
