I downloaded your puzzle to do later in the day on a car trip, and completely forgot about your introduction words. While doing it, I thought “is it possible she’s actually USING that thing that people always notice in puzzles that is never actually part of the solution?” YEP!
Sssolved. Good fun - thanks!

Good one Wendy. I started out looking for something sneaky, not knowing you were being sneaky by not being sneaky...that's sneaky!
Another very enjoyable Wendy's special (I see you serve then as squares also - are you going to tint your hair red?)

Thanks to all for solving!
The almost-always-wrong strategy that this puzzle used was two-word clues that started with the same letter (my favorite being "Administer anesthesia" for the grid answer NUMB). The first letters of the "double-clued" answers spelled out NEVADA, the capital city of which is CARSON CITY.
