Just a note to all those who are setting cryptic crosswords these days, including publishers. I do appreciate when you have a printable version. I work online and I don’t need to be on screen any extra time. My eyes talk back to me when I do!

So if you're a special kind of nerd, check it out!

I can recommend three ways to solve this puzzle:
1. Leisurely, enjoying the surfaces and wordplay;
2. with the company of a lesser experienced solver;
3. as a speed-run (someone solved it in under 2:30!) 🐇
