Constructor's Note
This puzzle is designed to promote downs-only mode. To enable this, go to your Account settings and under Solving Preferences select "Start puzzles in downs-only mode". The down clues are significantly easier than the across ones, so you might as well try! You get a special icon if you solve in downs-only mode. You can exit this mode for an individual puzzle from the pause menu.

    Just went back to look at the across clues and they were definitely tougher ๐Ÿ˜‚. Thanks for this puzzle and for helping alert people to that feature!

      I had a good time thinking of the most obscure clues possible. I'd be very impressed if anyone actually would have gotten an across!

      Fun! I still have the first two stanzas of "Paul Revere's Ride" memorized from elementary school, but the third stanza eluded me ๐Ÿ˜‚
