The clues, the grid, the key.
Sam and Riley are a made-up couple. Sam typed twenty lines; this is what Riley unwraps: a 15×19 freeform grid where every answer crosses another, the clues tidied with letter counts, and the answer key on page two.
Every real crossword is built only from the giver's own clues. Nothing here is reused for anyone.
