    The impetus for this puzzle was the cute way that the Crosshare logo winks every 10 seconds. Nice touch!

      Thanks Jed! When I made the logo I was worried the CROSSHARE23AWith 25-Across, what this puzzle is[---------] was too... cross. So I added the wink to lighten the mood a bit 😉
      • Jed 🤓4:35 · 2021-09-11T16:16:48.836Z
        It definitely worked, Mike! We all think the CROSSHARE23AWith 25-Across, what this puzzle is[---------] is super cute. 😊

      Oh, that was an amazing solve! Tons of short fills and no crosses, but somehow they all worked well! I'm very impressed. This should be the first puzzle anyone sees when they go on the site for the first time.

        I agree! Maybe we can think of some sort of easter egg or something that brings you to this puzzle

        This is amazing! Thank you so much for posting it 😊

              I had to reveal 5D5DWhat the 23/25-Across is doing[-------]. Clever theme, though, and good that the fills weren't too hard. Now I know about the winking!

                Cool.

                  That was fun, and confirmed that I am not a very observant person.
