The grid features a Clue Acrostic and also has two buried Easter Eggs, including a NINA. As you solve the puzzle, please be on the look out for these features.
Further to the above, this grid has an extra Twist. The order/location of the clues has been jumbled. In other words, each word is currently referred to by a clue that is out of place.
The Enumeration (Enum) of each clue exactly matches that of the location in which it has been placed. Also, clues and locations have been mutually interchanged – So, for example, if a clue in 6D refers to a solution in 8D, the vice versa is also true..
As part of the solving process, you would need to work out the correct order/location of each clue as well as its solution.
The Across clues and Down clues have NOT been mixed together. All Across clues will have locations in the Across part and the same is true of the Down clues
The Clue Acrostic would be able to assist in the ordering process,. If you correctly order the clues, you would be able to make words using the first letters of the clues. The NINA in the grid may help as well.
