Veeyares nice sunday fare.
ReplyDeleteBut please look at the grid construction.
NE corner has only one connection from NW. Middle of the word from 12a is not a real connection.
Similarly SW. Except for Romeo, end of word, there is no real connection from NW.
SE has obv one connection from NE
SW to Se barely passes with two.
"A good grid will have atleast two fair connections anywhere to anywhere."
As learnt from.my masters. Excuse if collective wisdom has changed in this era.
Thank you Sree Sree. Thanks for letting me know the problem with grid structure
