    Many thanks! 8A and 12A mystified me! May I have a parse, please?
    • JSP constructor · 2024-02-16T17:58:47.882Z
      Certainly! 8A is an absolute mess of abbreviations: (power=RIGHT)+(Tesla=T)+(old=O)+(voltage=V)+TO<+(energy=E) for "franchise" 12A (set up=ERECT) with (right=R) becoming (left=L) for "what's done with the right to vote"

        Thanks; I saw right-to-left as a reversal indicator. Not sure that it works as a replacement indicator.

          Thanks for the feedback!

      Thanks! Your construction of the 11-long words is very impressive!
      • JSP constructor · 2024-02-17T04:48:01.842Z
        Thanks, Nate! That's very flattering. I'm pushing my comfort zone by attempting longer words while maintaining (mostly) sensical surfaces. I'm glad to hear it's not complete nonsense! Stay tuned for more 11x11 in the future :)
        P.S. I thought your double definition puzzle from last week was absolutely brilliant, despite being nearly impossible 😅 I'd like to see another if you've got it in you!
        • nate 10:44 · 2024-02-17T09:08:11.497Z
          Definitely looking forward to more! And thank you! I got a bit carried away with the difficulty on that one, but it was a lot of fun 😅 I might have to give it another go

        P.S. just to add to the discussion, personally I don’t have any issue with “right-to-left” as a replacement indicator in the way you’ve used it, so probably just down to preference. I’ve also seen “changing sides” used for the same effect (R—>L and L—>R)
        • JSP constructor · 2024-02-17T04:39:18.825Z
          Thanks J! I appreciate your response about difficulty level. I also appreciate your opinion on right-to-left. Wow, I really like "changing sides"... I'll have to keep that one in mind! Thanks for solving :)

          Excellent stuff, a very good level for me — very challenging but just about beatable without cheating. Thank you!

            Actually took 27+ minutes. Very nicely constructed. A++

              Thanks for solving :)

              I really like the definitions throughout and the surfaces for 8A and 3D are outstanding.
