  what a JOURNEY. did you fill this crossword with just random letters and find a way to clue them, or did you have initial clue ideas? i have no idea how you went about constructing this, amazing!

    i did indeed fill the grid first, but the letters are far from random =)

  oh i forgot to mention--i absolutely loved TUR(N) (L)EFT clued in relation to (W)EST and (N)ORTH. it's hilarious that the clue number gets left out of EFT as well :P

  THIS WAS SO FUN !!!!!!!! What i thought was a bunch of random letters turned out to be "only one letter" indeed!

  Congratulations to everyone who managed to figure everything out. Now, shouldn't the rest of us mortals get an explanation of the way each clue results in the corresponding entry, just like cryptic crosswords are wont to do?

    each word in each clue has been transformed according to some rule, e.g. in 1A all Ls are replaced with Ps and in 2D the letters are alphabetized. if you deduce these rules and apply the same transformation to the original clue's answer (e.g. replace every L in HALL with P or alphabetize the letters in LAD), you will arrive uniquely at each garbled string. ive heard this gimmick be called "mangled clues" if you want to look into it more, but if you knew that and just wanted to know the transformations used, youll have to wait and see if i feel like writing that up neatly

      If the task of explaining all the rules is too daunting, here are the ones that elude me: 16a, 17a, 24a, 1d, 3d, 7d and 8d (and while I did decode the clues at 10a, 12a, 27a and 32a, I don't get the full mechanism). Also, why "One letter"? Also, what's the "Big thing"? Help!!
