they're calling 1A the most obvious seed entry of all time. super happy with the mid and long fill in this one - i'm trying to upscore entries that i like but aren't working in what i'm filling in the moment more often, and this puzzle has like 3 or 4 of those which is really nice (makes the extra effort start to feel worth it). also 66A is only a 40 in STWL in case you're looking for a new 3 letter word to go in the bottom and right of all your grids forever.
in me news, my first Lil AVCX puzzle dropped yesterday! here's a link to the puzzle, but like if you aren't already subbed to AVCX what are you even doing it's *so* good. there's a free trial on the AVCX website specifically in celebration of my crossword and how cool i am (don't factcheck that). go subscribe now! https://avxwords.com/
