Most of these seemed much easier than last month, but I'm very much at a loss for 16. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 03:40, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My guess would be "IAmTheSenate", but take that with a grain of salt. Panini!^🥪 20:24, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I said Kenobi, not Palpatine.

Will the answers be posted next month? The ones I didn't get are driving me nuts lol. INDT (talk) 09:16, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, the answers will be posted next month - I'm also happy to give you alternate clues / hints for the ones you didn't get. Ganesha811 (talk) 12:15, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  I managed to get a few more, but 1, 4, and 19 still escape me, and alternate clues would be greatly appreciated! INDT (talk) 15:46, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Some alternate clues (highlight to read): 1-Down "Reflection device" / 4-Across "Wikipedia is a ______ work" / 19-Across "Fedora memorandum" Ganesha811 (talk) 16:41, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, still took me a while, but the feeling once I got that last word in was amazing. Great work! INDT (talk) 17:27, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - You might want to get your periodic table out for 5 down. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 13:03, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for creating this. Had a lot of fun, but still haven't cracked number 13 across. I guess because I don't follow any kind of fashion trends. —⁠andrybak (talk) 15:04, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It has a Wikipedia article, according to which it has been around since the 14th century. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:01, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Finally got round to having a proper attempt at this, finding it just as tricky as last month, unlike Sdkb. I think 3 down could have been better, as it just contains the answer within the letters of the clue: I would have gone with "janitor", "mop holder" or "sysop". I enjoyed a lot of these, particularly 8 down, 9 down, 14 across and 19 across. For 1 down my first instinct was "joejob", but I got there in the end. — Bilorv (talk) 18:11, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
