Do you like cryptic crosswords?
so, i get how i got 1a and 5a. im not sure how i got 1d, like, i almost see it but it eludes me. i feel like 6a is obvious, but not sure if its cryptic. it seems like it must be right given how 3d is forming up, but some of how 3d is composing seems backwards? first cryptic crossword, so thanks for the pain i guess lol

Ha I'm flattered to have been your introduction :D The clueing for 3d is the weakest for sure, I initially planned to not have any clue for it at all besides "this is your code"

forgive me if i misunderstood ur issue

If you put the code into https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/[CODE HERE]/hollow-knight-silksong you can access the giveaway!
There's a MINOR thing to work out at that point still, with a MAJOR hint for that in the clue for 3d

Hello! I haven't been on SG in ages. I'm getting back because I've recently gotten really into "Cryptic Crosswords" and want victims friends to play my puzzles :) I hope that Hollow Knight: Silksong will entice you to play, but really the puzzle is sort of the main point.
This is the first one that I ever set, so I have no idea if the difficulty is too high or too low. Feedback on that is appreciated. Also, feel free to leave help and hints in comments here or on Crosshare.
Link to the puzzle: https://crosshare.org/crosswords/nf71xTCDz1TJspd6Nf8S/hollow-cross-silktongue
The answer to clue 3-D will be the giveaway code (so it goes into https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/[...]/hollow-knight-silksong)
If you are new to cryptic crosswords or you have no idea what they are, I recommend "Minute Cryptic"'s basic guide here: https://www.minutecryptic.com/guide
You can also play their daily clue as a (definitely better constructed ;) warmup
PSA: A lot of people are having trouble with the capitalization of the answer. Please see this comment: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/n1uYl/cryptic-crossword-for-hollow-knight-silksong-giveaway-until-nov-29/search?page=2#zu1yAcX
It looks like if you are on Chrome and want to try different options, you may have to do it in Incognito mode
