    "Eel-like predator" made me genuinely upset when I did this puzzle.
    Moray. As in Moray Eels, the most famous family of eels. That's not "eel-like", that's freaking EEL! The archetypal eel! The only eel even in contention for being as well-known is the electric eel!

    • @punzzle8213
      @punzzle8213 3 года назад +11

      Yes! It comes really close to breaking the rule of the clue not including the word itself. It’s a type of eel. And it used the word eel to describe it.
      That should be illegal. Straight to jail.

    • @ShadowMark474
      @ShadowMark474 3 года назад

      Tbf would you have a problem if the clue was something like "ape-like mammal" and the answer was "human"? Sure humans *are* apes, but considering taxonomy is literally classification by traits, I don't think it's inaccurate to say humans are in fact "ape-like."

Each of the long answers felt a little weird to me actually, like they were trying to be puns but they...weren't. But! The theme of the puzzle is that each long across answer is a normal phrase whose "room" has escaped, and with that all of them become more clever and pun-like. :)
