This was fun, thanks! (Although I'm still working on 13 down, 9 down, and 10 across. (I expected 10 across to be "COI" but that doesn't fit...) 🎄Cremastra 🎄 (talk) 13:15, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I enjoyed it. Thank you to the authors of the crossword. I don't participate in 2-down, do they really abbreviate 3-down like that? Because the WP:WP shortcut of 3-down is for something else, and it has a hatnote for 3-down. —⁠andrybak (talk) 14:37, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the answers!
As a person who plays crosswords, I didn't enjoy this that much when playing to crossword standards, but hey, it's there. Maybe we could steer the crossword towards hyperfixing on crosswords that look like certain things and punchlines that assemble themselves by other words, like how it does here for 1-across?

I have (admittedly somewhat limited) experience writing crosswords for a local newspaper, and I'd be happy to help out. Sincerely, Novo Tape^{My Talk Page} 23:13, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
