Puzzle No. 25: Over the Hill

Over the Hill

By teamcrazymatt
Apologies for taking so long since my previous crossword, as I've been working a summer job. On an unrelated note, the unclued entry at 31 Across cryptically explains the six shaded regions and describes what I've been working on all summer.

  1. Matt (and anyone else), if you take out the line: "exolve-option: clues-panel-lines:8" from the exolve code, and then plug the rest of the code into the generic exolve.html, you'll get a printable version. I've done it and it works well.

  2. Hello, Exolve person here. I've posted an update that now lets you print / create reasonable PDFs. Under the puzzle, click on "Print" and then "Print crossword" (the "Print page" button prints the whole web page, whereas "Print crossword" prints just the crossword). You can find details (there are many, inevitably) about Exolve's printing here: https://github.com/viresh-ratnakar/exolve/blob/master/README.md#printing
