40 rebus squares is a lot. It's still 39 short of the record. After pizza, perhaps you'd like a cookie for dessert. Be sure to read the Constructor notes.

Anne Boleyn was Henry VIII's second wife (of six!), and if you recall the poem — Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived — you'll know she was, indeed, beheaded, as per 1-Down.
SIX is also the name of a recent all-female Broadway musical about those six wives. Anne Boleyn gets the best song. ("Everybody chill, it's totes God's will.")
Unrelated to Queen Anne, I predict an uptick in Hinge sign-ups today.
