• This... is devilishly hard! I've gotten 16 of the 24 words figured out after a few hours of thinking, but I've absolutely no clue about the other eight.Whoop whoop pull up^{Bitching Betty ⚧Averted crashes}01:07, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, here's your first hint, then! Pretty much all the answers can be found atWikipedia:Glossary. Happy hunting and feel free to ask for more hints.Ganesha811 (talk)01:19, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Whoop whoop is doing well, I have only 9 so far. Thanks for the hint, Ganesha, that's what I dragged myself over here for! –Athaenara ✉08:44, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Doing better now, I nominate "Roman field treatment" for Best Clue. –Athaenara ✉17:58, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• I've added some alternate clues for ones that seem to be tougher than others.@Kleinpecan: you're really close, but probably the reason 16 and 22 across are giving you issues is that 13 down is wrong - here's ahint for it. Nice work overall though. For a hint on 7-across clickhere, for a hint on 11-across, clickhere.@Athaenara:@Whoop whoop pull up: some clues if you want them.Ganesha811 (talk)13:24, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Great and very fun (if hard) puzzle! Someone needs to explain 22-across to me though -- I only guessed what it was when I already had 13- and 19-down.15 (talk)16:21, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Thank you!Here's a link - the main character is an ______. The line (also from a movie adaptation) has become a bit of a meme nowadays.Ganesha811 (talk)17:15, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Hmmm, the one I'm really struggling with is 13 down. I'm 99% sure I know what it is, but that answer doesn't show as correct.--Asartea^{Talk|Contribs}19:59, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• @Asartea:, if you'd like to double-check, the answer for 13-down can be foundhere.Ganesha811 (talk)20:39, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  @Ganesha811 Oh, like that. My brain was thinking just HTTP404, because that seemed to fit better with the clue.--Asartea^{Talk|Contribs}05:54, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Arrgh, I was so convinced it was "redlink", though I also tried "deleted". —Bilorv (talk)16:38, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• I fail to see how the original clue for 16 was related to the solution, but the new one might have been too easy.~~~~

• @1234qwer1234qwer4: my thinking was as follows (in white, so highlight to read):a signature box, as in on a form or document, is literally a "name space", a place to put your name.Ganesha811 (talk)23:33, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• With a little bit of guessing (11 across was a fun one) and using the alternative clues that were added below the crossword here but not at the website, I've managed to figure out 19 of the words. I did not find 4, 12, 13, and 19 down, as well as 7 across. Seeing a solution has been posted somewhere in this discussion, I will probably take a look at that now.~~~~

• Similarly for 5 down. While the alternate clue makes the answer obvious, I still have no idea how the original clue is related. –SD0001 (talk)03:46, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Not obvious enough for me to understand either... —Bilorv (talk)16:38, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Got half of them myself, and filled in most of the rest from the hints and by looking at the glossary. Very well written. Only one I don't really like is 1 across – I don't here that much onwiki (just the synonym found at "WP:[answer]"). Still missing 5 down, 6 down and 18 across. —Bilorv (talk)16:38, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• ugg 10 was hard and 22 had me scratching my head hahaMujinga (talk)13:32, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Utterly distracted by 21 across. Now listening to the AC/DC catalogue. Guess it will be a loong way back to the top if I want to crossword.Tribe of Tiger^{Let's Purrfect!}06:28, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
