Harper’s May Puzzle —ABECEDARIAN JIGSAW
This puzzle played hard for me. When I finished it I was still uncertain on a few of the word plays, but I have since figured them out. If anyone needs help please feel free to message me. Enjoy!

It was a fun challenge. I think I understand everything except part of the clue to 10 across seems a bit off. Look forward to finding out what I’m missing!

I don't have a subscription to Harper's, so I googled "ABECEDARIAN JIGSAW" and found that Harper's has run at least three puzzles with that title! One in June 1978 by Cox & Rathvon, one in November 1982 by E. R. Galli, and this one in May 2024 by Maltby.

I can explain my interpretation of 10a, if you’d like to PM me. I believe I understand it.
Fun puzzle! Started hard for me, but eventually rolled.

Well, piffle! None of the libraries at which I have borrowing privileges has the electronic format (or access through a database), and the library I work at still has the April issue on the display.
