Hey! Something's missing! In this crossword, standard cryptic conventions apply: each clue includes both a straightforward definition and a "wordplay" -- if you can call it that. It's up to you to parse the symbols. (Tip: zoom in if the clues are too small ) Happy solving!
Wow, was a bit hesitant about the format but I actually had loads of fun! Felt like little cryptic dingbats, all fair clues and very satisfying to work out. Would love to see more!
