                MAYBE I went a bit overboard with the “non-standard” clues? This is my highest rated puzzle by far, but judging by the comments it’s still doable (though it takes a lot longer than a typical midi). Then again @TarotAndRye’s MENACES are a thing, so… maybe a puzzle this hard isn’t all that uncommon.
