What’s the most memorable puzzle you’ve ever created?

It’s hard to choose one, and my answer could change with the day. But I do have a soft spot for how this one (https://matthewluter.com/puzzle-151/) has a kinda silly but also pretty tight theme set.

What’s your all time favourite crossword clue?

My favorite clues I’ve written: [Enjoy many happy returns?] for PLAY FETCH and [Out-and-out success?] for DOUBLE PLAY.

What’s the best thing about PuzzleMe?
