Nice job! I think #24 has a typo in the grid (the answer's supposed to be the T word). #14 is not an anagram, although maybe I have misused the indicator in that one. "Stuffing of..." or "...'s stuffing" would maybe have made more sense?

Whoops, yes, typo in 24. For some reason I was initially convinced it was going to be the other one, and clearly I still had that in my head when I put the answer in :-). I'm not quite sure how I convinced myself that 15 was an anagram, since the anagram doesn't in fact work. Will fix.

Whoops, yes, typo in 24. For some reason I was initially convinced it was going to be the other one, and clearly I still had that in my head when I put the answer in :-). I'm not quite sure how I convinced myself that 15 was an anagram, since the anagram doesn't in fact work. Will fix.

Nice job! I think #24 has a typo in the grid (the answer's supposed to be the T word). #14 is not an anagram, although maybe I have misused the indicator in that one. "Stuffing of..." or "...'s stuffing" would maybe have made more sense?

Whoops, yes, typo in 24. For some reason I was initially convinced it was going to be the other one, and clearly I still had that in my head when I put the answer in :-). I'm not quite sure how I convinced myself that 15 was an anagram, since the anagram doesn't in fact work. Will fix.

Still having problems visualizing the cube. If I assume 1 is "ABCDEFG", does the "B" go at the intersection of 10 and 13, and the "D" at 16, 19?

Are you certain that 17d is correct? (I expect it is, but I'm having difficulty seeing past a not-quite-solution to it and would be glad of confirmation that I really should.)

@GarethMcCaughan Hmm maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see anything obviously wrong. That said it's my first time writing this type of clues so it's definitely possible I've made some mistake...
