That brings us to 59. Let's see if nudges can shake a few more loose...

Nudges, in order of increasing blatancy:

1. 1 across and 67 across together form an illustration of what you need to look for in order to solve the meta: ECHOONCE.

2. There's something going on with the 4 long entries.

3. The title (and blog post that accompanied this puzzle's announcement) references 1 Cor. 13:12. The import of this is poor reflections.

4. If you placed a mirror in the centre of each entry, one side almost reflects the other side.

Catching up on the week and crossed the moat (no nudges). Fun puzzle in between ballgames at the little league park! Thanks Ben!

Cool little theme, and while "Cloud Cuckoo Land" per 50-D is a chonky book, it was wildly ambitious. Don't felt 50-D landed everything quite exactly, but it was an intriguing read. (His "All the Light You Cannot See" is perhaps more famous, and it's one I need to get to down the line!)

Thanks for the puzzle!
