    I didn't even realise the Schrodinger until it started flashing! Some clever alternate answers in there - I like BRUSHES/BLUSHES and FALL/FAIL, but 27D is very sneaky. Kudos for the grid!

      Was trying to simultaneously fit YELLOW and FAIL in, which is why I ended up using autocheck. When I switched to BLUSHES (I had BRUSHES) I even thought that would make a great Schr枚dinger puzzle entry, but I still didn鈥檛 see THAT coming!

        Ah! Very clever! Nice puzzle.

          so cool!! didn't realize there were THREE(!) alt answers... i got YELLOW and BROWN... didn't notice the GREEN at all! impressive indeed 馃崒馃崒馃崒 (but i will take mine all yellow thanks 馃槤)

            So good! I was solving for ABITBROWN and somehow got stuck on FAIL + BIT. But the true answer is ABITGREEN!

              On the challenging side but a very impressive construction.

                At first I was irritated by the vagueness of 27Ds answer being a specific key. Then I finished the puzzle and the Schrodinger flashed. Wow. Amazing job.

                  That was a great puzzle even without the surprise (for me anyway) ending! I love the use of the directional dividers. Do they have an official name? Kudos on this one!
