    Reveal: All of the across grid entries contain the letters of the alphabet in order- 1A ARIA contains the letter A, 5A BFG contains the letter B, and so on until you come to 42A SLEE which has no Z (nosy).

          The title, prompt, and photo got me there… but I have zero idea of the actual mechanism, so I eagerly await an explanation!
          • LarsCaine constructor · 2024-08-19T12:29:54.907Z
            The reveal is above your comment. Yeah, I thought the grid fill was on the difficult side, so I used the title and prompt to even it out.
            • Sendhil Revuluri 🤓2:36 · 2024-08-19T15:18:39.599Z
              Thank you! Due to the caching I couldn’t see it when I solved… it is such a simple mechanism but so subtle! And quite a feat of construction IMO. Thanks again!
