Hi all!

I love doing quote acrostics, so I made one up that is Broadway-themed. To solve, you provide answers for the clues, and then fill in the grid, forming a quotation from a Broadway show. Typically you work back and forth between the quote and the clues. When you're done, the first letters of the clues' solutions spell out the name of the lyricist.

PUZZLE

If you like this, I'll make more in the future.

Same. It asked me to sign into my Google account and then said I needed to ask for permission to view.

I do Wordle, Keyword and the WP crossword daily to keep the Alzheimer's at bay. This was a delight. Please create one every day to aid me in my wellness journey.

This was fun, though I only knew three of the answers, but I was able to figure out the full phrase from looking at what I had filled in.  One thing I didn't realize at first was that the words wrapped around until a black box acted as a space.  Also, what are the letters under the numbers in the grid for?  I had thought they had to do with the answer at first but it seems like that's not the case.

They indicate which clue the letter belongs to so that it’s easier to work in both directions. I probably should have explained that too. 
 

I’m glad some of you enjoyed it! iI’ll post here when I do another one.
