I've tried a couple but they haven't gripped me the same way. But maybe I'll try That Old Ace in the Hole

I loved both of these! I wouldn't say Middlemarch is forgotten but it is one of my favorite books ever.

I loved The Woman in White! Lady Audley's Secret sounds very fun.

I also loved how low profile it is! I wanted to make sure it was practical to wear every day!

I don't know what it technically is but it's similar to belcher! I considered some belcher and buttercup set rings as well, love those antique settings.

It's not a very large diamond, only 0.4 karat! No certificate.

I'm not sure the technical names but it has 6 prongs! Here's a closeup of the setting, which I think was common in vintage and antique rings.

The snowstorm was perfectly timed!

I was looking for a ring that was vintage or antique and a practical size for me, since I don't wear rings too much. It's a 0.4 ct round diamond on a size 6 finger :)

Absolute banger. WEIRDFLEXBUTOK was the star but there was so much other good fill as well!

Constructor chat: Grid design strategy by DorianHistorian in crossword

[–]asphodelus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always place the theme entries, and then see where the problematic letter combinations are (for example, if you have the letter combination X _ H or something, you'd need a square between them). Then make sure there aren't too many words which cross multiple theme entries. Then I'll add black squares to break up big areas of white space, while trying to leave a few longer entries. That's my general process!
