    In 29A, is "nuts" just for surface? Eli's is not anagrammed.

      I had the same question! Also - great puzzle! Loved "boxing" as an indicator.

        That's a mistake on my part! I was messing around with the letters and didn't realize I'd anagrammed them back into their original shape. Should be changed now! (tho I did like the original surface better haha)
