    Enjoyed this! 1D as clued seems like it could go either way: KIWI or WIKI? Also, if you don't mind explaining, how do ACCRA and DARK work?
    • nate constructor · 2024-01-01T05:20:04.333Z
      Added WIKI as an alternate solution :)

        Thanks! Didn’t consider that for 1D. For ACCRA, Turbulent is an anagram indicator, current = AC, around = CA (as in “circa”), river = R, and City is the definition. For DARK, dragon = drake, dreadful = anagram, George II = E (second letter of George), flees = remove E from drake, night= dark.
