Constructor's Note
The main clue goes all the way around the board from 1a to 1a.
I thought this would be an interesting way to do a puzzle. The main clue is 17 letters and goes around the entire board, with the clues in the middle filling in the blanks.

      Very cool! Kicking myself for not getting it - I was reading "responsible for" and trying to think of some agency that administers it now or something 🤦

        I didn't even consider that other meaning. Whoops. I probably could have worded the question better, but I'm glad you enjoyed it!

            Very cool! That was a lot of fun to figure out. I'd consider recluing 7a, as I think what you're referring to is ELDEN, not ELDER.

              You're correct, I've changed the clue. Thanks for pointing it out!

              Nice perimeter.

                Wow, very cool!

                  Really clever construction, fun to solve. If you're interested, there's a great book about the construction of the Canal. it's called "The Path Between the Seas," by the historian David McCullough. (Sorry, I'm a real book nerd and I'm one of those weird types who finds history fascinating.)

                    Great concept. That was fun! Thanks.
