Puzzle uniqueness:
I'll let the Rex Parker site explain it: "Now "See" this! — clues with answers describe the clues themselves..." Example: AWILDGOOSECHASE clue is "See 66-Across" where there is no 66-Across in the puzzle)
Words I hadn't known until now:
RECURSION - "See 25-Across" (which is where this answer resides,...whatever...)
Trivia I didn't know:
ROWE - "Host Mike of 'Dirty Jobs' and 'Somebody's Gotta Do It'" (Never watched either show)
MARIO - "Celeb chef Batali"
Junk answers:
EMO - "Kind of look with bangs and eye shadow"
SSN - "Application figure"
PSST - "Alternative to an elbow, maybe"
Clever clues:
SPACE - "What ' ' contains"
ICON - "Click it"
ABUT - "Be against"
THE - "Not just any old"
SET - "22+ pages of the Oxford English Dictionary"
BUGLE - "Wake-up call?"
Obscure (i.e., really reaching) words:
TAUTOLOGY - "See 58-Across" (Where the clue is "See 17-Across," the spot the answer is)
RECURSION - (See above)
