BWS Puzzle 47: Midi Themeless #20

Here's a 9x9 grid with diagonal symmetry along the top-right to bottom-left diagonal. I just want to note that the mention of a "diagonal" in the clue for 4-Down refers (implicitly) to the other kind, the top-left to bottom-right diagonal of a matrix.

I think there are some fun entries (I like 3-Down and 11-Across) and clues (I like 6-Down and 14-Across) in here, and I'm guessing a medium difficulty, hoping that the short stuff will give you plenty of ways to crack into it.

Enjoy the solve, and share if you do! Constructive feedback in the comments is always welcome.

Another midi-sized themeless puzzle with diagonal symmetry! This one is 11x11, and it all started with the diagonally crossing entries 38-Across and 9-Down. As I filled in the rest of the grid, I noticed a few chances to include some other entries that "fit" with those two seed entries (hah, seed! ), so that's why I have somewhat contradictorily labeled this post with both the "themeless" and "mini themes" categories. Still, it's decidedly not a "themed puzzle", and I'm just pointing this out in case you notice the miniature theme and it helps you solve a clue or two. I acknowledge there's an abundance of proper names in this puzzle, so that's why I'm labeling this Extra Hard , even though the rest of the clues are probably more medium-to-hard . I'm sorry if some of those names get in the way of your solving, but please always feel free to use that Reveal button liberally! In fact, just the other day I inadvert...
