    31D was pretty much my reaction when I got TOWEL. Don't panic.

      I had the puzzle all finished before I decided to rework the grid to get TOWEL in. Glad it was worth it 😂

      I enjoyed the trip, thanks! Lower left almost "threw" me for a loop!

        Glad you sorted it!

            Totally clever, Mike. The anagrams are fun.

              Thank you!

              A word latter + anagram mashup? Love it! I knew what 1A had to be right off the bat, and I suspected where we'd end up at 40A, but wasn't quite confident enough to plunk it in there from the get-go. You hit on a really well-balanced difficulty level, since the anagramming meant I couldn't just guess my way down the ladder without some crossers first, but those crossers in turn came just easily enough after one or two of their own crossers. And I agree that reworking your grid to include 30A was absolutely worth it!

                Thank you for the thoughtful comment! I wanted to do a straight word ladder but wasn't going to get from EARTH -> SPACE that way (at least not in a midi) so I added the anagramming. Glad it worked!
