An Efficient Midi

◆ · By wisprabbit · Published 2022-01-14T12:55:55.162Z

Constructor's Note
This is an entry for the Crosshare Midi Contest for January 2022. The theme is "2". But why have 2 when 1 will do? As such, I've processed all the theme answers in this midi to make them twice as efficient...

    Very nice! Loved the way you kind of reversed the theme.
    I think CIAO is Italian though, right?

      Thank you! You're right, I meant to put Italian but I got lost somewhere. Edited it. Thanks for pointing it out.

      Wow super cool that you put the theme all around the border!

        Thank you! I spent a long time trying to get a midi with the theme running through rows like a normal themed crossword, but I'm still no good at fills and I found the midi size too tight to get a fill with okay words. Hats off to you and everyone else who can manage it! (sorry for the late reply!)
