Slurred Lines (by Chris Adams and me)

[burak]

Hey all,

I've constructed my first crossword puzzle ever thanks to Chris, who I think is one of the best mostly indie constructors out there if you care about clean fill. Coincidentally, it's a meta, so I thought you might enjoy it. Here is the link: http://arctanxwords.blogspot.com/2020/0 ... tekin.html

This is not a contest puzzle, so it's ethically unambiguously OK to ask for a nudge if you are stuck. Feedbacks are also welcome! Thanks.

Yay! I love Meta Monday.

[Al Sisti]

Nice job; this was fun...

[ChrisKochmanski]

Fun youthful grid. By youthful, I mean, "I DON'T KNOW A LOT OF THIS STUFF! I MUST BE REALLY OLD!" But I got there without googling.

Meta seems intriguing. Only rabbit holes so far. I'll re-visit later today.

[MajordomoTom]

it's doable even if you've never heard of the song/artist.

[BrianMac]

Fun puzzle (and great song!).

[FrankieHeck]

Fun! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[ChrisKochmanski]

In my case, I had to do a lot of googling, but then when I ran across it, I was like, “Oh yeah, why didn’t I think of it?”

Good one!

[Laura M]

Very enjoyable! And it turned out to be a song I do know pretty well!

[BarbaraK]

Fun puzzle! Some stuff I didn't know, but it was gettable.

1990s songs are not my strong suit, so I definitely needed google for the meta.

[boharr]

Much fun. Thank you.

[Hector]

Not . . . seeing it! Good to have one to work on, though.

[Beth Tyrpin]

I forgot about that song. I like it!

Finally got it with Google. Definitely-remember-hearing-it-at-the-gym type of song, but I wasn't familiar with it in the requisite way(s) for the meta. But it's entirely fair, and nicely constructed.

I'm kind of surprised I got it. Though one of my favorite bands has a fun cover of it, which I just found and watched.

Got it. Tried to get there without Google for a couple days, then succumbed. Taking some pride in the fact I chose the right song to google, rather than getting there a more direct way. Aside from grunge, this was not my favorite musical period.

All that aside, the cluing and grid here were fantastic! I wish some of the clue patterns had been used for the meta.

Great puzzle!
