    Fun, thank you! (I initially tried using & in the two special squares and that wasn't accepted, just FYI.)
    • JeffsPuzzles constructor聽路聽2025-02-09T19:05:47.257Z
      Thanks, Sendhil! I construct in CrossFire, which I generally like, but it doesn't allow for any symbols other than letters and numbers.
      • Sendhil Revuluri 馃7:19聽路聽2025-02-09T20:46:30.618Z
        Got it. (I think & and 脩 are the two other allowed characters in a Crosshare grid.) I believe you can add an alternate solution in Crosshare (even after posting, which is a nice workaround when I make errors!)
      • Jason Cathcart 6s聽路聽2025-02-09T18:54:14.846Z
        Good point, it could be nice to have an alternate solution for that
        • JeffsPuzzles constructor聽路聽2025-02-09T22:21:54.390Z
          Thanks - I just made an ampersand correct also, or at least I think I did.

        I always enjoy your puzzles a lot. Tiny nitpick - the clue for 61A should be plural.
        • JeffsPuzzles constructor聽路聽2025-02-10T02:21:02.595Z
          Thanks for the kind words, and thanks also for pointing out the mistake in the clue, which I just fixed.
