@lowdowncryptic.bsky.socialI stood there 30 years ago and the view (or lack thereof) was the same!
@lowdowncryptic.bsky.socialIt’s not fair to indicate removing a block of letters (e.g. URE) if you’re actually removing those letters individually from different parts of the fodder (it may be OK if the fodder is anagrammed, though)

Last day to submit your clues for this week’s contest
@lowdowncryptic.bsky.socialCryptic stream tonight with an indie midi by me on Crosshare, a 15x15 by Jess Shulman on Cryptic Crossweird, a variety cryptic by Rachel Fabi on AVCX, plus Nathan Curtis and more!
@lowdowncryptic.bsky.socialNice puzzle! Challenging but fair, with good variety of wordplay. I always learn a few new words and meanings from your cryptics!
@lowdowncryptic.bsky.socialCongrats on #200! Cryptick is a fun (sometimes challenging) daily clue and a great site for setters to share their own!

@lowdowncryptic.bsky.socialFantastic!
