Midi - On Edge

◆ · By Aaron · Published 2021-12-27T03:29:35.261Z

Constructor's Note
A quick mini intended as my take on a classic theme that ballooned to a more serious 11x11 puzzle after a few revisions. Medium-challenging difficulty.

    Couldn't quite work it but had fun trying - nice puzzle!

      Fun puzzle! Should the clue for 38A be the other way round? Prix ______ (phrase on a Michelin-starred restaurant menu)?

        Yes, thanks for the correction!

            tried without revealing, but could not... I did not understand that a REBUS could be longer than 2 letters, nor that the circle indicates a REBUS. It is clever that the corners are the word "corner".
