      Great puzzle! 1A took me so long to get, but I really liked it once I got it
      • Nikolaj Munk constructor · 2024-04-16T06:01:28.881Z
        Yeah, that top-left corner doesn't really give you much to work with, does it. Thanks for solving!

        Nice one! I got 14d last, that "'s" caught me off guard. Thanks for the puzzle!

          Haha, I specifically wrote that clue in frustration over always missing those "'s"es. Glad I'm not the only one, thanks for solving it!
