A rather vengeful cryptic

  The crossword in which I put far, far too many reverse-engineer clues. And yet there where more which I couldn't quite fit in the grid.

  Hope it was as fun to solve as it was to clue :)

  Whoa the reverse engineer clues are blowing my mind - I didn't realize that was even an option

    Done well they can be pretty good; this was a lot of me trying to play around with them - which lead to some dubious clues. But some of them (such as 19A and 25A) are actually good. The rest can be a bit ... uhhh

    They're normally pretty rare in a proper cryptic; as they require the answer to be both a valid phrase and a valid cryptic instruction. Hope it was enjoyable; even if a little confusing

      It was! Every time I attempt one of these I learn a bit more
