Two unusual entries OK?
« on: April 06, 2025, 11:09:25 AM »
I've completed a 21 X 21 themed puzzle; and although I've tried different approaches, I'm left with two unusual entries: "epulse," clued as "Electromagnetic rifle used in Starship Troopers universe." (Googling "epulse" almost always returns a trademark; but copilot AI says that "epulse" is not necessarily a trademark but "a measure of one pulse (burst), often used in laser or electrical systems." But that's not easy to find by googling. The other entry is "one law," which I have clued as "Theological movement associated with Messianic Judaism." If you have any other more simplified clues, please let me know. Or do you think these 2 entries would kill my chances of being accepted.

Hi,

I think that either one of these on their own is an issue. Together, not a chance of having the puzzle accepted. Neither entry has ever appeared in the cruciverb database, and that's not a good sign, especially for six-letter entries. For ONELAW, the closest I could find was ONELAP, which has appeared in the database 31 times. So, if you can possibly change ONELAW to ONELAP and somehow ditch EPULSE altogether, you're in a better place. I know it sucks to have to rework entire areas of a puzzle, but that's what you have to do.
