This particular mini was seeded by a Chris Piuma livestream, but this was an absolute beast to seed and shape. Comments after the puzzle.
This is one where even I had to do extensive search engine work to get some of the wild fill to work. Today's entry proved to be a lesson in the difficulties of an unconventional seed entry, but it was worth it, especially with the 1A seed and the clue for 8A. I will be participating in the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament (ACPT) the weekend of April 24, so I will be pushing the puzzles for this week and next a smidge early. Considering my last attempts at crossword tournaments (Couchwords, Lollapuzzoola, and the Bosword leagues) have shown where I need to work as a speed solver, I'm not expecting to get top 20% of the ACPT entrants, but I plan on having fun with all this.
