Midi Cryptic 3: A Nice Ten by Eight for Beginners

The New Yorker cryptics were once one of the most consistent sources of easy cryptics, but unfortunately they stopped publishing them at some point. To make up for it, I tried to make my own! This should play much easier than my previous two cryptics. Thanks to sam e, Joe , and Mallimack for their excellent feedback during the playtests.

Midi Cryptic 2: Destined to Overwhelm

Happy Fourth of July! Here's a midi cryptic to celebrate. It's not thematic, but it does include references to baseball and gridiron football as well as a word that's spelled differently on either side of the Atlantic. Hopefully you find it fresh and spicy. Thanks to sam e and Mallimack for their excellent feedback during the playtests.
