Episode #349 Contest: Personal Struggles
Really a fun puzzle by Brian Cimmet. Not difficult once you see what is going on, but very well done.

I'll keep trying to get my post in here first, but I guess until I delay release of the puzzle until after I wake up, it may be a lost cause ...

There's a new contest puzzle from Fill Me In. I'll rate this one 3.4 bananas on a scale of 5 bananas. (Bananas has nothing to do with the puzzle, it's just a 1-to-5 scale we made up.) As always, I have a poor sense of difficulty, but tester feedback was medium (for seasoned pros) and difficult (for newer solvers).
The puzzle is called "Personal Struggles" and was constructed by me (Brian Cimmet). The solution to the puzzle is the name of a fictional character.
The crossword can be downloaded from here. You're welcome to solve and talk about the puzzle -- but if you want to be eligible for a prize, you have to listen to the podcast for this week's password. The podcast can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, our own website, or wherever you collect your podcasts.
Once you've solved the puzzle, submit your answer and this week's password by email to fmi@bemoresmarter.com. You can also contact us with any suggestions, questions, comments, or ideas. Thanks for playing along!

Glad to see the podcast is back. A Tuesday without Fill Me In is like .... a Monday.
Banana peeled, but I still need to finish the podcast to get the password.

If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Hello solvers,
The solution to this contest was SWEENEY TODD.
There were six squares that were rebuses going across (each hiding the word DEMON). Those same six squares were normal going down, and from top to bottom, spelled BARBER.
Thanks for playing! There's another contest puzzle and another post in the forum for it. I hope you give it a try!
