14 ||steven|| 56 ||oddtodd||
carmine reef
2 and 67 are ||reserved parking||
||two o’s||
(Meant to respond to hidden word message)
The only grayed clues left are 13 and 51
vestal urchin
||two o’s||
yea I'm not 100% sure about ||house and fool||
but this is the only thing that would make sense?
merry dune
57 Across: Works best when not played
vestal urchin
yea Idk I just put some random word that fit
merry dune
Would you like a hint?
merry dune
(sorry, typo)
vestal urchin
||steel||
merry dune
Also, I forgot 53 Down: Also known as commmunication with deceased through a spectral card
(sorry, I forget sometimes)
idle kindle
51 down could be ||Throwback||
For 13 down (Secret crowns) I think of The Mark, but it's 12 letters
These are the ones I have left
merry dune
Keep in mind, all answers are balatro related
merry dune
For 13 down (Secret crowns) I think of The Mark, but it's 12 letters
Hint: ||mysterious crowns||
merry dune
yea I'm not 100% sure about ||house and fool||
And I will tell you, I would have used ||full house||as the answer rather than ||house||
idle kindle
By "augur", do you mean this?
merry dune
Not telling
vestal urchin
And I will tell you, I would have used ||full house||as the answer rather than |...
Thought so but theres also a boss with that name soooooo
vestal urchin
6 ||flush||?
If this is somehow it, then I don't understand the clue at all, I just put the only fitting name
- the word across would need to be smth like ||bull|| which makes no sense either
53 is ||Saturn but it's nerfed now 
||
54 ||negative ||
merry dune
+ the word across would need to be smth like ||bull|| which makes no sense eithe...
That is very close to the answer lol
merry dune
One of those, yes
vestal urchin
Hint: ||mysterious crowns||
||mystic summit???||
merry dune
Well, do you think anything else can go in?
vestal urchin
Idk how that makes sense is the thing
merry dune
||Mysterious and secret is similar to mystic, and Crown is similar to summit||
vestal urchin
where do I see them crowns
well first word I figured
but second no idea
ah I guess
merry dune
Maybe that was too weird
merry dune
28 is incorrect (I forgot that fish was a boss blind)
vestal urchin
23?
merry dune
Yeah, 23
vestal urchin
so 28 correct? 😭
just making sure
cuz Idk the meaning of either of the words, I just connected them because they're both weird
vestal urchin
I thought it was vagabond, but no fit
golden ticket also already a thing soo
I am clueless about that one
merry dune
What happens when you rub your thumb all over a cheap playing card?
vestal urchin
||smeared||?
merry dune
That should help
vestal urchin
dont even need to see the hint for this one lmao
merry dune
I did say || in adifferent way||
vestal urchin
yeaaaa but without that hint
merry dune
Well, I'm korean, and this is my first time making a crossword
Still, I probably could have done better then that
Will use this experience
vestal urchin
I think it's fine, I might just be a bit too harsh on you without considering it's your first
merry dune
Nah, you aren't doing any of that
vestal urchin
hidden word confirmed
I used the knowledge of the word and realised that joker needs to end with ||k||
so it was pretty easy to figure that one out
merry dune
I put it in there to make it slightly easier
Still, I would love to see the whole thing filled out
You will be the first I think?
vestal urchin
the ||spacejoker|| was kinda boring because its already in the clue
58 ||theidol|| probably, used the knowledge of the ||d||
vestal urchin
25 is SO weird
only figured because I remember your quiz where you said that this joker has eyes of diamonds
34 is kidna weird too
does not really combine with anything
at least not in a sense you'd expect
figured out 8 because last word
also made me realise what 12 is
is 26 ||raised||? I have like 0 idea wtf would it be
I mean this one is straight up 😭 😭 😭
also back half? maybe you meant second or last part
Idk does not make sense either probably 🤔
both 38 are weird
only this left
vestal urchin
||59 Idk how hiker is "trail follower" tbh||
only this part left 🫡
70 is ||sigil||?? that is some abstract word play
vestal urchin
will stop for today
cunning hemlock
i think i got 11
||Losing Eyesightness to spawn tarots means cartomancer which says Spawns a Tarot card when Blind is selected. blind = blindness = Eyesightness ||
vestal urchin
😭 that's...
cunning hemlock
what you think
vestal urchin
?
cunning hemlock
why the sob
vestal urchin
this is the tuxedo hint all over again
carmine reef
59 was solved
vestal urchin
yeah
cunning hemlock
i was looking at the image
vestal urchin
15 11 22 and 29 are the ones I didnt solve
cunning hemlock
so what is left
vestal urchin
15 11 22 and 29 are the ones I didnt solve
a
cunning hemlock
well we just did 11 so 15 22 and 29
carmine reef
Any chance that 29 is ||FINGERS||?
vestal urchin
nop
vestal urchin
||Losing Eyesightness to spawn tarots means cartomancer which says ***Spawns a T...
u forgot to add in the
cunning hemlock
the what
cunning hemlock
ah
vestal urchin
also 11 should help a lot with 15 and 29
-Across-
15 Across: Crabs in a casino
29 Across: Soccer/Football based with skipping
-Down-
22 Down: A different type of voucher```any chance 15 is ||select||?
Idk how does that relate to crabs but it fits 😭
carmine reef
22 is probably something that ||has an effect similar to a voucher||
vestal urchin
||popcorn|| matches letters for 29 but it's not rly related and it was already in the crossword
Idk
vestal urchin
||obelisk|| is probably the only word that fits nto the 22, but makes 0 sense
and was already in crossword'
merry dune
15 ACross: Crabs in a casino, winning on red
cunning hemlock
I'm lost on the crabs part
Never heard of anything related to crabs in a casino
What about the other 2
Give us something there
carmine reef
||all 6s|| then?
merry dune
Never heard of anything related to crabs in a casino
A Crab, in a casino, winning on red
vestal urchin
I'd say in a casino probably relates to "balatro"
Idk what crabs are there in balatro though
maybe you could say base joker looks like one? 😹
carmine reef
Maybe ||CHICOT|| but ||THELOVERS|| is incorrect
vestal urchin
the 2nd one is correct
carmine reef
That’s why I doubt that
vestal urchin
the question I'd like to ask if any of the remaining words are related to the leaks
or better question: were all the remaining words present in a demo/playtest at some point?
ok this is stupid
but 15 is ||hermit||
because there's ||hermit crabs||
Idk what winning on red means tho
merry dune
Idk what winning on red means tho
||Doubles your money||
vestal urchin
some gambling references I am not aware of
merry dune
||In a casino, at the roulette table, if you win on red you get double your money||
I really shouldn't have made these clues at 1 am
vestal urchin
yea I thought of a roulette after u said winning on red
but I had no idea that it ||doubles money|| or something
Idk never played roulette lmao
merry dune
I guess, made another mistake of doing plural
If I make another, then I'll make the clues when I have an actually functioning brain
merry dune
Idk what that is
merry dune
In 22, it's not a reference to the game
It's something else
In 29, ||Skipping means a defferent thing then what you're probably thinking||
vestal urchin
||jumping over a rope?||
vestal urchin
or better question: were all the remaining words present in a demo/playtest at s...
ok so this is a no
||redcard||
right?
merry dune
Yes
vestal urchin
||ahhh you make me check all the leaks to see if I missed something for 22||
merry dune
||maybe hit up google?||
vestal urchin
already checked synonyms but didnt see anything interesting
vestal urchin
I mean huh
ok google gave me british version for ||license|| with c so I didn't think it would match
merry dune
Bruh.
vestal urchin
not even joking
vestal urchin
