I KNOW it is going to be a good weekend when we get a new HEX Puzzle.

Enjoy!

11A and 24A gave me a bit of a fight, but otherwise, this was a BLAST!

Yet again, when I read the instructions I thought to myself: "I'm NEVER going to solve all these". But sure enough, I did! Another marvel from HEX.

Last clue to fully understand was Mix and Match (i). That wordplay gets me all the time, and it’s embarrassing!

Ok. I couldn't help myself. I went back and slogged through the puzzle using OneLook and an anagram solver. I need lots of help. Not sure if it was worth it but again, I couldn't NOT do the puzzle.
