About this puzzle

Two long entries run the full width of the grid and share a theme, which is the shape a standard weekday crossword takes. It carries 72 answers across a 15x15 grid and is rated medium, which puts it around the difficulty of a midweek newspaper puzzle. Every entry was filled against a curated word list and then read one at a time, so nothing in the grid is a word invented to make the corner work.

Check and reveal are on the board when you want them, a letter at a time or the whole grid at once, and nothing marks itself wrong unless you turn autocheck on. Pencil mode holds a guess in lighter type while you decide. Progress is saved on this device, so closing the tab does not lose the grid.
