I haven't made a new puzzle in a few weeks, so what I'm a-gonna do is grab some oldies that I've never posted for various sundry reasons, and post those over the coming week.
The major flaw with this one is that the grid is not symetrical. 25-Down was to be a full proper name running all the way to the block on the bottom row. But, no matter how I tried, I couldn't fill the southeast corner without redoing most of the fill. So I plunked down another block and went from there.
Also, I wasn't thrilled with some of the fill.
There are mines scattered unsymetrically throughout the grid. I wish there was a way to red-flag them but, alas, there isn't. So just treat them like normal. Or not. You'll know what to do.
Tread carefully. :-)
