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.

yep, I agree, another good one from HEX; not too hard, not too easy, just right.

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

I can't even get one answer so I think I'll skip this.

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.
