About the Puzzle
I really thought this puzzle would get accepted somewhere. I'm more proud of this one than I am of any other puzzle I've made. Structurally I think it's super cool, with the interlocking theme and a couple other things I don't want to give away. And I think there are a lot of fun words. There's too much black, but I think that's the only major knock against it, but of course I'm biased...
