Did not finish because the clueing and answers were so oblique. Normally I have fun with the Saturday challenges, but this run of nonsensical clues/answers has taken away the reason to even try the puzzle.

I felt the clues were written to fit words that made no sense, so the clues also made no sense.

Great puzzle! It took me a while to figure out the "wormhole" trick by starting on one side of the colored square and then going to the other side of the other colored square to complete the word. The rebus added a step of complexity but also of interest. It was a tough but neat twist.
