Amazing vocabulary- thanks

[@superman00001]

This is absolutely amazing.

[@martinwilson5210]

Wow what a solve, especially "Intrepid". I Enjoy how you decipher these.

[@megagarrym6318]

I got Riveting and Puffin early on, I was delighted with your reaction when the Riveting penny dropped!

[@bubbagarland]

Riveting!

[@mkwilson1394]

Wonderful solve! PUFFIN and RIVETING both put a wide grin on my face. Always a pleasure to watch your videos!

[@Ruddigore]

A great solve. 'Stravaig' would have stopped me from completing this puzzle without resorting to online aids; being an anagram of gravitas though. means it's one I will remember from now on.

I bet you heard me shouting at you for those final three! :-)

[@dannylfcmeatloaf]

Its incredible that Riveting was the only one I got during my initial look without any letters, but it caused you so much stress! Said before, its the easy ones you sometimes cause you the most problems

Just a minor correction, but "quietly" is p for piano, pianissimo is "very softly", and seen as "pp" in music.

[@dweebovision]

Thank you, I have been getting that wrong for so long!!

[@brianfromoregon]

Where’s the suit!?

[@chris_wicksteed]

Watching this, some of the clues gave me difficulty, even though I 100% solved the crossword the day it came out.

Failed on 26 across but did okay otherwise.
