Rows: 15, Columns: 15, Words: 78, Blocks: 34, Avg Word Len: 4.90, Missing: { Q X Z }, Scrabble score: 308 (avg 1.61)

David Steinberg notes:

There's an unfixable error at 24-Across/3-Down: The answer key lists an M, and 24-Across makes sense as HEMLOCK, but 3-Down should clearly be HE-MAN rather than HEMAM.
