    A great puzzle. I especially enjoyed the upper-right quadrant of this. And absolutely lovely pairing with yesterday’s black cross.

  • Aaron Chan says:

    A very neat pair of puzzles. It astonishes me that the same clues can work for both.

    • Carl W says:

      How embarrassing—I noticed the obvious identical clue placement and inverted shading between the puzzles, but I hadn’t realized that all of the clue numbers and arror directions were identical.

      Now I’m awestruck. This pair is a masterful feat.
