definitely should accept LINE in the theme entries. good puzzle tho

Despite the touching (and true!) constructor note, the clue for GALOIS is not good. "Differential Galois Theory" is a real thing, but it's not the theory for which Galois is best-known by a long shot - "Galois theory" is a much more common term. "For whom an algebraic theory is named" would be much more appropriate. I'm always asking for more math in the crossword, but that won't stop me from posting things like this xP

I'm sorry for your loss

Really really hate the new layout. Keyboard on screen while solving on a computer is 1) useless 2) takes up a bunch of screen real estate. Also, the on-screen keyboard didn't even work??? The clues split to left and right is something I think I could get used to, but for now it makes it a lot harder to check crosses while solving an area - I basically end up focusing on the lists one at a time and viewing the grid in my periphery. With the two column across/down list you could view both at once while doing this, but now my vision constantly has to sweep from the left to right side of the screen. Also, the lists are super short in height because the keyboard takes up so much space. It's really really bad. Also what happened to the San Jose Strut‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽
