Testing out a new clue type here and curious the reception. They'd be rare, but are occassionally helpful in solving for a grid!

Hope ypu enjoy!

Instructions (best on desktop):

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!

2:09 Odd clue, I got the anagram and solved it, then had to ponder how the clue connected.

I often go for a loose pun for the title, but this time I tried more of a scattershot of association with >!the merry men: Maid Marian, Will Scarlet, Friar Tuck, Little John, and Much the Miller's Son!< - hopefully not too left field!

I think you need a newline for the spoiler to work?

The clue was a unexpected and I personally didn't get the connection and stumbled on the answer (8:00) . The crossword clues were fine, but the binary one I had to take with faith that you thought of the same substitution for 1 and 0.

I think looser/non pun based clues are fine, this specific instance might have been iffy.

If the new type of clue was 2 across, I might not have gotten it, except the rest of the answers filled it in for me, which is pretty typical for clues I'm not familiar with, so I think it worked well enough! I can see how something like that would be helpful for creating such a tight grid.

If it was something else, I really didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, besides maybe the title which seemed odd at first but helped me fill in the anagram quite nicely. πŸ˜†

Yeah it was 2 across I was curious about. I have done roman numerals in the past without much complaint, but was interested to see how this could go because strictly speaking they are numbers!

I got tripped up because I put one of the answers in the crossword in the wrong direction. DOH!
