This is Michael’s first published puzzle! Here’s Michael:
While I was looking for words to fill my original puzzle, I saw the word 4-Down and I immediately decided to make this a theme. I was partially inspired by my Stars class (ASTR 12700) because I would not have known what a 4-Down was if I had not taken the class. While I was creating the clues for the words, I particularly enjoyed using punny clues. I hope the solvers will enjoy the word play as much as I did while solving the puzzle.
