Constructor's Note
This is as small as Crosshare will let me go at the moment, and so atomic symbols of chemical elements was the natural theme. (I have also definitely broken my own record for the ratio of characters in the clues to characters in the grid!) Hope you enjoy, or at least humor me. (Don’t worry, Crosshare doesn’t support 1 x 1 puzzles!)

      Skimming proves very helpful :P Some nice elemental trivia here, looking back over the clues!

        It's true, if I'd had more time (and wasn't experimenting with constructing on a phone) I'd have written shorter clues!

        had a periodic table in another tab :P this was pretty silly, i wonder if someone could make a puzzle where all the short entries have super long clues, but the long entries have one-word clues

          I believe in you! (And yes, it was pretty silly. I appreciate your patience.)

            No clue. 🤣 Way too chemistry for me.

              I get it. You can’t trust atoms. They make up everything. 😂
