L-M-N-O-P (Cryptic Variety Puzzle)

#1

Post by mokelfish »

Finished up a new cryptic variety puzzle (as opposed to a variety cryptic ;)) this week! The answers to the clues make new words when they are entered into the grid using either alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order, and there's also an related acrostic quote to be revealed. Let me know what you think if you try it out :)
