Puzzle 61 – “Minimum Waste and Maximum Joy”

puz here / pdf here / solution here

This puzzle’s title tries to get at what I hope to offer here every week, friends and solvers, while also being a tip-of-the-hat to 22-Across, this themeless’s seed entry.

Still playing around with interlocking long entries, so we get here 3 grid-spanners and 2 14-letter entries. Favorite clues: I had fun with alliteration at 1-Across and 9-Across… but the fave here is 13-Across, no doubt.

As always, comments welcomed. Happy solving. Hope yall enjoy.
