    That was great, thanks! I had HELIXED as 1-A (which I don’t think is even a thing) so it was fun to gradually figure out my error

      same! i was trying really hard to think of 7-letter words starting with x, but then the crosses made me realize the answer haha

        Update (April 21, 2024): I changed the clue for 2-Down from "Chess rating system that shares its initials with a rock band," which incorrectly suggested that the name of the chess rating system is an initialism. I learned today that it is named for its creator, Arpad Elo.
