      Took me awhile to get the joke… in British English, someone who makes a crossword is called a “setter”… in American English the term “constructor” is used… so a grid iron smooths the fill 😎… bravo!

        Yeah, as an American, I thought "dog" for 12A. Although the punchline hits well for American audiences too! Fun solve for sure.
