I won't be surprised if this one gets low ratings, honestly.

I mean, wow! Beyond fiendish, but top top marks for effort and concept. I got a fair few clues I'm proud to say but my fogeyish grasp of pop culture let me down. I wish I'd spotted the anagram factor. You've worked so hard on this, it IS playable only by an absolute genius but I do really appreciate how clever this is. Genius anagrams, if almost impossible to reverse engineer. But well done, my lad! :) and nice to see you back. Hope you're not stressing re exams and school stuff :)

If anything, I don't think I'm stressing enough.

So many inaccuracies.
Eg pedantries is a noun whereas fusses over nothing calls for a verb.
Why does ‘anagram’ keep appearing in your solutions.
3 minutes of my life I won’t get back

It's not doing as badly as you thought so far, Keir. Maybe people appreciate the work and cleverness that went into it, even if it's really hard to solve in practice. I'd stick with this format- utter genius- and adjust the level- the numbers were a nice clue definitely keep that- if you don't mind advice from someone who frequently makes the same concept/ execution balance mistake! (Big old hypocrite!) ;)

"Fuss" is a noun as well as a verb. Pedantries (uh, maybe like this'n) seems fine.

First time I've ever given 5 stars when I've not gotten a single thing. This is gorgeous, but very very difficult. Agree with Lorna entirely. More, please!

Thanks again for the sage words, Lorna. But I mean, most people go to this site for walls that they have a chance of solving and couldn't give less of a flying fridge. I do really feel I'm going too headfirst into obscure territory and making technical mishaps along the way. Well, I did pre-empt it, at least.

And I do except your advice, Lorna. Why? Because you can actually give criticism where it's needed, instead of throwing a paddy like our good old buddy Primrose. The only good point they brought up was with the inaccuracies (I will try and make more of a conscious effort to fact-check my connections) but outside of that, it's another whinge-fest.

I mean, Lorna, you yourself have made a lot of walls with similar solutions, right? Albeit more well constructed, but still well-put together. And do you ever get as much flak as this? I'm not saying these users have it out for me, and I don't think this wall is good, to be honest.

My strive for out-of-the-box grids is veering way too far into left field that it's pretty much impossible to get my try-hard desires are left glaringly exposed and came back to bite me in the rear end. But do I really deserve to get crapped on like the lavatories at a Mexican restaurant? Maybe a little. And I'm not saying I don't take criticism, it's just I don't take it to people who dish it out in such a catty manner.

Anyway, this is a turning point. The time that I finally try to put a bit more effort into my walls and not take all of the criticism to heart. I mean, I would say that Primrose's comment didn't piss me off, but I pretty much wrote more than I have in this one reply than I have in my entire exams over one little comment. So, for the sake of my ego, my free study time and my fingers, I'm gonna wrap this comment up.
Lorna, thank you once again.
Primrose, you're welcome for the three minutes.

Huh, so more people actually like this stuff.
Okay, I'll make more, but a heck of a lot easier.

It was worth the effort. I learned 2 things: 1) you watch The house of games and 2) despite watching the house of games I cannot remember celeb names for love nor money, let alone what they are an anagram of. Damnit. Clear what the theme was but I just couldn't solve fast enough. If I refreshed the page once every few minutes, maybe!
