        I thought the grid was quite good, actually.

          Thanks mate! That means a lot to me.

            Awesome structure, so cool! I´ve done several of yours today, but this was my favourite.
            Did it take long to make? Thank you!

              Hey! Thanks for checking out my puzzles - it means so much to me.
              I realised this puzzle was possible when I noticed there were 8 odd numbered rows in a 15x15 grid. Surprisingly the revealers and the second scale going back down came in after I had already started setting.
              Since this was one of my early full grids, I was pretty impatient and just settled on the first layout I could find - I try a few more times these days to avoid dodgy words like ROOTCOLA.
              I'd love to hear your thoughts on the other puzzles too - thanks for leaving a comment!

                Is "irade" possibly a little dodgy, too? I tried looking it up to learn more and can't find very many references anywhere.
                But i definitely enjoyed the theme and the majority of the puzzle.

                  Yeah haha. I'd definitely set it differently nowadays. Perhaps I'll reset this with the same theme somewhere down the line. Thanks for checking it out and the feedback.
