    • LarsCaine constructor · 2025-02-23T14:19:05.506Z
      Explanation: The alternate answer to 12D is hidden in 8A (ACT), 35D is 19A (CIA), 1D is 28A (REM), 59D is 38A (OBE), 56D is 43A (NBA), 57D is 52A (YSL), 7D is 63A (MBA). The first letters of the alternate answers spell ACRONYM

        Fun one! BTW, I think the OBE is a civilian award FWIW
