Great puzzle! Only 4 minutes off my best Sunday time this week with no lookups. Fun theme and reasonably challenging clues with not many naticks, except for Mainer, newbs and craig. I got stuck with noobs instead of newbs for a while after the rest of the puzzle was filled. Can someone enlighten me on the cluing for Mainer? Google has revealed that Downeaster is an Amtrak line from Massachusetts to Maine, but I’m failing to understand how that ends up as Mainer. Otherwise very fun; hats off to the creator. I’m dipping my toes into crossword creation and it’s so much harder than solving one :p
@Nicholas Sinisi On the in-app keyboard, select More —> Rebus. You’ll be able to put as many letters as you like in one square. :)
@Paul ah, I see! I thought that was counterintuitive at first, but turns out it comes from sailors traveling down the prevailing winds out of the southwest to go east up the Maine coast, hence the term Down East. Fascinating!
