Good straightforward grid.
Thanks for posting

Nice grid - particularly liked the chess answer! My only slight qualm is that these are probably professions in other things, not just the Simpsons

7/10 - nice, got me on string (theory a no no) ty

Good grid. Liked the ladder category

The Mikhail group got me. Otherwise nice :)

Nice grid

simpsons??? Otherwise, good thank you.

Liked the ladders

Thanks for the feedback, as a long time Simpsons fan I wasn't really sure how to gauge the difficulty of that category haha.

I liked the Simpsons one

The Simpsons group is obvious but could be so many other things and is not sufficiently specific to the show.

Don’t listen to to them. I knew it was Simpsons and was glad for it to avoid the other red herrings I tried. A great grid. I got the chess line by accident thinking the connection was something else, but I had those names in my head from all those chess movies of the 80s and 90s. Ha. Loved the word ending connection even though I didn’t get it right.

I knew my guess was wrong, but for the "contact" one, "Total" was an acceptable answer (which I guessed for "Recall" to be cheeky). This might need to be fixed.

Suck my nutes puzzgrid
