1$\begingroup$ @Astralbee The clues were direct, which can be good for ensuring uniqueness of an answer but also makes solving easier. Perhaps incorporating more riddle and wordplay can add those little interesting twists. (The tag info for both tags also list good techniques for achieving this.) $\endgroup$– noedneMay 29, 2018 at 9:51
