    Tricky one! Lower left section had me stumped.

      Very unhappy with SW. The speedrun part comes from me trying to do no "take backs" where once I fill in a word in the grid I have to stick with it, left me only one possibility in the SW with some gross short words. lesson learned to not do that again haha but I figured I'd post it anyway

      Definitely a challenge - lots of terms I wasn't aware of (BAUD, RAI). The CBD clue was very clever!

        I wasn't aware of them either! I had only one SW possibility and I didn't want to redo the whole thing haha. Glad you liked that clue!
