Hidden Depths


 

It has been a bit since I posted a puzzle. I should really make more. This one took a bit to get right. This is a variety cryptic so there is a bit of extra work involved to finish the puzzle. 

One entry will tell you the problem and another will tell you the solution. 

Good luck

Read the Notes for info on how to solve.

So moving to smaller sized grids made sense. So far I enjoy working in 11x11 grids. Small and punchy puzzles.   Here is the first puzzle I made and published a couple of weeks ago that I think lives up to my expectations. I am on the verge of completing another couple of puzzles to my satisfaction (and the main inspiration for...
