Wow this was not a fun one at all. Way too many esoteric “crossword-y” words that no one would ever know without spending years of their lives solving crosswords. LIMN? ABYSM? Sure, Jan. Also doesn’t help that the revealer is an in-the-weeds reference to crossword conventions (rotational symmetry vs lateral symmetry? And?). The lateral symmetry of the letters in the starred clues has absolutely nothing to do with the answers either. I feel like I wasted my morning on this puzzle.
