PUZZLE #82: Themeless 22

PDF
PUZ
SOLUTION to the last puzzle

Happy 2021! Late for the first post of the year, but I got caught up with the Mystery Hunt (fun! great!) and registering for classes (meh). Some notes:

  • Check out the new crossword feature at The Browser if cryptics are your vibe! I'm lucky enough to be one of the contributors, and the puzzles that have already come out are setting a high bar. 
  • The 7xwords project is underway, and all the puzzles so far have been bangers. I'd be remiss not to point out this one and this one, which were especially fun
  • Contribute to this form to help diversify wordlists!
Back to normal-sized themelesses; hope you enjoy the puzzle!

  2. These clues are amazing! Besides the ones Alina mentioned, I also loved 54D, and clues like 59D where you can kind of work it out with reasoning. Could not believe it when I realized BANANARAMA was in the grid (surely there are too many As for that to really be it, right?) And just a really fun image the clue for 35A kept bringing me back to as I chipped away at it. Had so much fun with this!
