I think had I played the print version it would have made more sense, at least I’d be able to write the letters outside the grid. Much harder to keep track on the digital version, especially so when the constructor acknowledges the theme isn’t intuitive in the first place! I’ve found this week much easier than usual, so while this was more of a grind than I was ready for, I do appreciate my first real challenge of the week. Thank you!

The theme would have worked better had there not been so many other across words beginning with A in the puzzle. This filled like a themeless for me, I had to come to the article to find out what it was in the end. Unsatisfying solve for me.

Just couldn’t get into a solving rhythm with this one, which meant I didn’t enjoy it as much as most others here. I’ll keep practicing I suppose!
