Hello Crossworld!

The inspiration for this puzzle came from looking in the mirror. I have a gap wide enough to stick a screwdriver through. Initially, I laid this out as a Sunday 21x, wanting to have all the gaps exactly in the middle of the puzzle. That's a … gap in one's teeth? Fun twist on the old "words hidden within theme phrases" theme type. It does run the risk of the solver finishing the grid without understanding the theme, and putting the puzzle aside.

An awl with a beveled tip, used to make holes in wood for brads or screws. That's a pretty high bar. I think this one is just fine. It's just that having to work to reveal technical terms I don't know and don't care that much about see esp. Everything else seems just fine. Easy enough to hack away at the Downs from there and thus take care of the NW. Getting that answer quickly significantly altered the difficulty level of the puzzle. That also happens to be the Ugliest part of the grid, or ugly-adjacent at any rate. Thought the black mts were in NDAK. Wasn't even sure I knew what a "sports ticker" was. NCAA has about as much to do with a "sports ticker" as it does with any place one might see sports written or talked about anywhere. The abbr. Why was this easy?

IT was on the menu! Down hill from there. Absolutely ecstatic to be making my print debut here,

LAT untimed Jack. As soon as I saw the byline and the colorful grid, I knew we were in for a treat! Even though parts of the grid especially the top third! Some of the trickier fill was almost certainly a result of having essentially six full rows of theme-related entries, with most down entries crossing one or more of those rows — wow at those constraints. A tough way to start off the puzzle, but a satisfying guess to finish it off. Bravo to Rafa for a gorgeous design, fun idea, and wonderful execution! I appreciate the consistency in this theme.

I said it was okay I was a shiksha anyway. There was a lot to like in this puzzle, but also a few rough spots, as others have noted. Puzzle has 7 fill-in-the-blank clues and 2 cross-reference clues. I did not know that. That's a … gap in one's teeth? Bravo to Rafa for a gorgeous design, fun idea, and wonderful execution! In my mind's eye I was equating a Reuben to a simple pastrami on rye. Enjoyed this puzzle a lot. I had NEO-, which shows you what I know about the various geometries. It's the Kuiper Belt object whose discovery killed poor old Pluto. BTW spacecraft, you're going to have to let go of the "stitch" issue. I was disappointed in this, too.

I have a gap wide enough to stick a screwdriver through.
