It’s sincerely unacceptable for a puzzle to be published in a state that it isn’t functional for all subscribers, especially when subscription prices are rising. But even worse than that, it’s an insult to Chase and Christina who put so much time into what is otherwise an excellent puzzle. One of my goals for the year is to submit a puzzle I’ve been workshopping with a friend, but technical issues like this make me question if it’s worth it. We’ve spent several hours brainstorming themes and how to implement and clue them, and it’s frustrating to now have to consider technical limitations like this. Hopefully the rest of the years publications will put me in a more productive mood.

Loved the theme, but got a bit frustrated with ALBEE crossing three other names - disapponting to get to the end of a puzzle and find myself needing to look up some names. However, that’s the only bad thing I’ve got to say! Lots of good fill and clues; I loved “Missing work?” For STOLEN ART.
