Marvellously Mixed Crossword Puzzle

Home» Crosswords» General
Today's crossword is brought to you by the letter M. In this Phoenix Rising team challenge, the task was to complete a crossword with the same letter in each corner, as well as to start a two-word alliterative title. This was the second-tier challenge, where the nominated letter had to be worth 3-4 Scrabble points. (Additional clues within parentheses might illuminate or obfuscate or at least try to make you smile).
