Accidental typography

The backwards 'E' was unintentional. So was the 'H'. And the rotated 'T'. (—author)

Done. "Down-3" is a definite the hardest and most challenging clue in the puzzle. Cassiopeia talk 03:48, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I wish I hadn't looked at the spoiler for that one. The idea is brilliant. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:45, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There's a funny story for this crossword (I was the editor). It got lost for a few months and when I found it, the constructor, Cremastra, told me I honestly can't remember ever making that one, and don't have the answers written down anywhere. So I got to truly solve it myself. And I agree, 3D was a tough one to figure out. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:05, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Bri Thank you for setting up the crossword puzzle. I truly enjoyed it and hope to see more like it in future editions of Signpost. Cassiopeia talk 04:57, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
