Comments from Today’s Crossword Constructor

Darby: JANELLE MONAE was the seed for this entry; I love their music, so I was delighted to discover LEMON in the middle. It took a lot of finagling to get a theme set that worked, but once fill like MAIN MENU, EVIL PLAN, and the meta USA TODAY came in, I was so pleased with how this turned out.

Crossword Puzzle Theme Synopsis

LEMON DROP: Each of the vertical theme answers contains the word LEMON going down – i.e. DROPping: LITTLE MONSTERS, TOUT LE MONDE, and JANELLE MONAE.

There's a lot to like about this puzzle. The theme is fun, and all three theme answers are excellent. I enjoyed the multiple literary references, as well. And, of course, the self-referential meta clue for USA TODAY is so good. Thank you, Darby, for this superb puzzle.
