Themed #3 — A Very Cleveland Crossword

■ · By Evan Shapiro · Published 2022-05-22T23:11:33.696Z

Constructor's Note
When you're done, read the circled squares top to bottom and left to right to spell out a message!
The inaugural school newspaper crossword. The message won't make any sense to anyone outside of the school community, so just ignore it
This one was tricky to make because I had to be sure it was doable by someone who doesn't really do crosswords. So crosswordese was definitely not an option, and I went for limited proper nouns so I wouldn't have to obsess over fair crossings. I think like four made it in. If there's anything I can improve, please let me know (preferably by tomorrow!) so I can change it before submission.
Thanks for playing! Make sure to check out my other puzzles :)
