    One of the tough parts of making a crossnumber is making it unambiguous (only one solution). For example both clues that see the first digit of 8D are “a number” so it could be literally any digit. Keep working at it. I’m excited to see what you make next :).

      FWIW I’ll defend the puzzle here. The 2D in combination with 9A restricts this to a unique solution. It’s tricky and I’m happy to post my solution path to the discord when I get time. My verdict was clever but a high degree of difficulty.

        Thanks for the solve!

        I promise the solution is unique! I spent a long time making sure 😅

          Good job. Guess I’m still not quite that good at crossnumber

        Really fun! I agree that there is in fact one unique solution.

          Whoa, I saw "a number" like 5 times, and I thought "this person has no idea what they are doing," but this was actually incredibly clean. After the Gauss clue, everything else just follows perfectly. Really great, thanks!
