Constructor's Note
made for the size side quest, a challenge to make a grid of each size from 2x2 to 15x15. with this grid done, only the 15x15 is left! i'm really happy with the spanners in this one, in addition to a few clues (my favorite is the clue for 52A)
thanks for playing--feedback welcome :)

    Very nice! Love the clues, especially 31a and 52a, and the self-referential ones.

      thank you!

      Fun, thank you! I await the 15x15.
      I really liked the clue for 31A. And I loved 3D too! (I don't think I ever finished, I have to go back sometime…)

          I loved this! Thrilled that I was able to get 3-D immediately. So many good clues/entries in this one. 19-A and 10-D are also great spanners. The clue for 47-D made me laugh.

            thank you! i seeded this grid with PAUSEFOREFFECT, so that's fun :D i'm also very proud of the clue for 47D haha

            I had forgotten about Monument Valley. It's both beautiful and fun.
