No word counts for the extra challenge (mostly because I'm lazy and also always screw them up anyway).

I expect great things :)

Good luck!

I finished cryptic #10. I enjoyed a few of the clues a lot (28A and 20D, for example) but there were also several clues where I couldn’t understand the wordplay. Thanks for constructing these—on to the next one.

Nearly done with #20. I can't get 30D, which relies on my answer to 41A... and I'm not sure about that one.

#11 finished. As with #10, some great clues and some that could be “improved”.

🍺 I have finished the eleven cryptics. I’d try to repeat Hercules 12 labors as an encore, but that would be easy after this.What an amazing piece of work by Josh. I can’t even imaging the amount of time that it took him to construct these. Were there some minor issues along the way—sure. But I had an incredible time solving these. If someone wants to try just one I highly recommend #20.
