Constructor's Note
For this cryptic, some squares may include two or three letters per square. The rebus tool is necessary to complete this puzzle. 10 starts off with the shaded cell in 7.

      Love the innovation for these! I'd be careful with using too many unchecked squares though, or gimmicks like reusing a cell like in 10A, on top of the "each cell has an unknown number of letters" trick (to be fair to the audience). I prefer US style cryptic cluing over the UK style (getting (-pa)ST(-r)Y in 6A is a bit too convoluted for me), but I loved 1A, and the surface of 5D is great! Keep it up!

        Yeah, the 10A clue was definitely not a good idea in hindsight, I'm going to avoid that in the future, and will also keep in mind to not make clues too convoluted for the sake of fairness. Thanks for the feedback!
