Squeaky Clean - 15x15
OK, OK. For a puzzle titled “Squeaky Clean” I may have set myself up for mockery if the fill is anything but. Unfortunately, I confess there’s a couple crutches in here, but all crossings should be fair. Why would I tolerate a few weird entries? Well, because I was trying to challenge myself by opening up the grid to have two-long downs crossing three themers each. You see, upon coming up with the idea for this theme, I was disappointed to learn it had been done before with the same revealer. Instead of abandoning the project, I came up with new theme entries and decided to push the grid to its limits as much as possible. Personally, I think the fun long answers make up for the gluey fill, and wanted to welcome in this misfit with all the others. Enjoy!
