Constructor's Note
1D was too fun of a word not to leave in the grid.
After a few weeks off, here is my return to puzzle writing. Hope you enjoy.

    Fun one! Minor nit: the part of speech for APPEAR feels a bit off. Maybe "Become unhidden" or "Show up" or something like that?

      You’re probably right here. I may change that clue.

      Wow! 1-D/10-A was brutal but I'm not really sure how this construction could get around it. Thanks for the challenge!

        I guess being a comp sci guy, 10-A felt more common knowledge than it is. I agree, 1-A is mean but a bit of an oh yeah moment when broken down into its component parts. I suspect the intersection of the two will be the toughest letter in the grid. Thanks for persisting through.

        “de-nuked”, excellent!

          I liked writing that clue. Glad someone got as much joy out of solving it.

          Thank you!

            A much better reply than the muttered curse words of family members! FWIW, I always enjoy your puzzles, so thank you too.
