Constructor's Note
This is for the monthly midi challenge. When finished, the diagonal (top left to bottom right) will spell out a bonus allusion to the puzzle's theme!

    Nice one! Only gripe is that I think the clue for SSE has a typo - currently it says "opposite of SSE" but maybe that should read NNW?

      ::headdesk:: Somehow I caught a bunch of typos on first path and apparently ADDED one!

        Yeah I figured something like that must've happened! 😂

        Nice puzzle! I learned some new things but it still wasn't TOO challenging. :) Fun idea to have the bonus entry going diagonally - if you had those squares shaded or circled I think it would have been even more effective (alas, I don't think that's the kind of editing that can be done once the puzzle is posted). I also loved the long entries, especially "Hey SEOULSISTER"!
