    Good job! Let me know what you thought – which clues did you like / dislike?

      nice work, thanks! ASIA and SOL were v good. PHISH took me a while but its a good one! 5D is unfinished, 1A and 11D don't quite work i'm afraid (and there's a couple i'm not sure i get - 17A?)

        01 is 10 backwards
        • capybara 19:33 · 2023-12-13T07:26:15.414Z
          Ok but no definition or reversal indicator?
          • Lego constructor · 2023-12-13T12:17:12.715Z
            Ah, that;s a bit silly isn't it. I'll rethink it.

          thanks for the feedback! and thanks for posting out that 5D isn't finished and 1A and 11D ned work – I'll fix them up. Cheers!
