app.pinones.io Piñones: Bite-Sized Crosswords with a Twist

More than just clues and answers. Every solved Piñones crossword reveals letters for a final, hidden phrase. It's a crossword, an anagram, and a riddle, all in one.

Hello, all! Here is Monday's puzzle! Still best viewed on desktop for now and thank you everyone who mentions all the bugs. Everything reported has been added to the dev board!

Instructions:

Solve the grid using the clues provided. The direction of the word is indicated by the number around the grid (so some words are backwards).
After you complete the grid, click the pencil icon tab at the bottom to switch over to solve the anagram. The title is a hint to the anagram!

After 5:30 I only had one clue. Had to give up on this one!
- Oh no! I do try to make the clues a little harder on Monday because it's an easier anagram, but perhaps I went a little too obscure today!
