Great Grid Gimmick

Constructor's Note
My gimmicky clues in the last midi contest were too subtle. Hope this is easier to solve than it was to set!

    surprisingly smooth! doing this couldn't have been easy, especially limiting yourself to three words per clue too! my personal favorites were LOB, YER, and RERAN.

      YER might be my cluing magnum opus

      Nice work, the additional 3-word constraint adds a whole extra layer!

        Thanks thanks! In hindsight, I should've kept it more flexible. That NE corner was pretty awkward
