  Can you please explain what’s going on here? I had to do a total reveal of the puzzle and still don’t get it.

    The clues use a Caesar cipher (clued in with the title), and you have to decode those to get the normal clues. It's a little devious and tbh I thought it would be hit or miss for a lot of people. That said, it was unique, which is why I gave it a shot

      I just read up on what a Caesar cipher is. Thanks for the explanation! I don’t think I have the patience to lay out two alphabets and do all the decoding.

        I wouldn't either. If I saw this puzzle, I'd close it out immediately haha

  TIL: Caesar Cipher. Expected the answers to be encrypted too Very fun solve, thank you.

    with all due respect, this should not have been "very fun" to solve

      You're just gonna have to make the mechanism more obscure next time.

      I recognized the encoding immediately, although I didn't know it by the name you used. First Across clue and first Down clue gave away a good many letters, including some important vowels. From there on out it was challenging, and I found fun in the challenge.

  I'm a tiny bit disappointed that the answers aren't shifted, but still NVVK QVI!

  Your puzzles are awesome. I had no shot at this one, but definitely love the creative and challenging nature. Perhaps a more on-the-nose clue would have helped e.g. 1A - "type of salad as well as your key to solving the rest of this puzzle". Anyway, followed you and looking forward to more soon!
