- This... is devilishly hard! I've gotten 16 of the 24 words figured out after a few hours of thinking, but I've absolutely no clue about the other eight. Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty ⚧ Averted crashes 01:07, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- Well, here's your first hint, then! Pretty much all the answers can be found at Wikipedia:Glossary. Happy hunting and feel free to ask for more hints. Ganesha811 (talk) 01:19, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

- I've added some alternate clues for ones that seem to be tougher than others. @Kleinpecan: you're really close, but probably the reason 16 and 22 across are giving you issues is that 13 down is wrong - here's a hint for it. Nice work overall though. For a hint on 7-across click here, for a hint on 11-across, click here. @Athaenara: @Whoop whoop pull up: some clues if you want them.

- Great and very fun (if hard) puzzle! Someone needs to explain 22-across to me though -- I only guessed what it was when I already had 13- and 19-down. 15 (talk) 16:21, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you! Here's a link - the main character is an ______. The line (also from a movie adaptation) has become a bit of a meme nowadays. Ganesha811 (talk) 17:15, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- Hmmm, the one I'm really struggling with is 13 down. I'm 99% sure I know what it is, but that answer doesn't show as correct. -- Asartea Talk | Contribs 19:59, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Asartea:, if you'd like to double-check, the answer for 13-down can be found here. Ganesha811 (talk) 20:39, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- I fail to see how the original clue for 16 was related to the solution, but the new one might have been too easy. ~~~~

- @1234qwer1234qwer4: my thinking was as follows (in white, so highlight to read): a signature box, as in on a form or document, is literally a "name space", a place to put your name. Ganesha811 (talk) 23:33, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- With a little bit of guessing (11 across was a fun one) and using the alternative clues that were added below the crossword here but not at the website, I've managed to figure out 19 of the words. I did not find 4, 12, 13, and 19 down, as well as 7 across. Seeing a solution has been posted somewhere in this discussion, I will probably take a look at that now. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 23:45, 1 November 2021 (UTC) - Similarly for 5 down. While the alternate clue makes the answer obvious, I still have no idea how the original clue is related. – SD0001 (talk) 03:46, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- Got half of them myself, and filled in most of the rest from the hints and by looking at the glossary. Very well written. Only one I don't really like is 1 across – I don't here that much onwiki (just the synonym found at "WP:[answer]"). Still missing 5 down, 6 down and 18 across. — Bilorv (talk) 16:38, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- ugg 10 was hard and 22 had me scratching my head haha Mujinga (talk) 13:32, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Utterly distracted by 21 across. Now listening to the AC/DC catalogue. Guess it will be a loong way back to the top if I want to crossword. Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect! 06:28, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
