Constructor's Note
First contest submission, and first Midi! Critique is highly appreciated, I stepped out of my comfort zone on this one.

    Refrain from using words in clues that are also in answers to other clues. For example, 9A, 26A, and 30A's clues and the answer to 15A. This also includes using parts of words that are in other answers, like in 21A and 35A.

      Thank you for the feedback. I definitely see what I can do differently now to incorporate this while still keeping the theme of the puzzle. I might have to try to redo it later!

      Texas Instruments has one I 🤷. The while upper right was rough, but trying to sort out TII is where I bailed

        Yeah this clue was a stretch, I appreciate you trying my puzzle anyway! The extra I is supposed to come from “Inc.” but it really just isn’t a good clue. Definitely goes to show I need to be more creative/specific with poor letter combinations, or adjust the board!

          I thought it was good challenge, if I was less pedantic it wouldn’t have tripped me up probably 😂
