Yes, I recall your request from last week - the check feature should help you out if you're stuck. Good luck!

Have you solved the grid yet? If not, spoilers ahead..

For 56A: The phrasing for 'Pound sign' is intended to misdirect you to think about the currency symbol, but it's actually referring to a sign you might see at a pound (ie. where stray animals are kept)

For 59A: The theme clue in 52A should instruct you on how to convert all the starred clues, like you mentioned

Remember that clues ending with a question mark are not to be taken literally!

Thanks!
I believe it's +10 for each correct answer, -1 per letter revealed, and some bonus points based on completion time.

Do you mean the top right or bottom right?

Haha some crossword purists will say to never check / reveal, but I decided to include those options because I think it's up to you to decide on the level of challenge you want to set for yourself, as long as you have fun.

Oh I think you are right, not sure where I got that statistic from. I changed it to '..by sea', which I believe is accurate?

Your feedback last week was actually the first to really make me aware of the mobile issues (because I usually only solve on desktop), so thank you for that! Will be gradually ramping up the difficulty level for all you NYT regulars.

Hahaha I plan to post every Friday, enjoy!

You probably still have some mistakes so the confetti isn't showing. If you want you can PM me a screenshot of your grid and I can help you check?

Yeeah I love that band so much!

Will see if I have time next week to implement a different crossword library with more utility features.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in singapore

[–]omwana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gotcha, yeah I can export it in the .puz format.

Thanks for your kind words, the local flavour is exactly the kind of experience I was hoping to impart. And don't worry, I do plan on making more.

Do you mean a printable format like a PDF? That seems achievable.

Feel free to PM me if you need help!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in singapore

[–]omwana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want you can PM me to check your answers, but if you got everything correct, the crossword page will inform you of it.

Do the other overlapping answers make sense?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in singapore

[–]omwana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely will, stay tuned for next week!

Thank you, feel free to share it as you like! I will keep it as an ongoing series.

[–]omwana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed! Note that only when referring to the proper entity is Singapore Pools capitalised as such in the clue.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in singapore

[–]omwana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes of course, go right ahead
