    I think this might be bugged! There’s a blank square to the right of 24-A which I can’t seem to click on, but needs to be filled in to complete the grid?

    Also, I was a bit stumped by 29-A because I’ve never heard of that being in a hot toddy before!! Maybe it’s a US thing, because my Canadian wife also looked bemused about it.
