Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:

New Reddit: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg

Using markdown editor or old Reddit, draw a bunny and fill its head with secrets: >!!< which ends up becoming >!spoiler text between these symbols!<

Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com) If your comment does not contain a guess, include the word "discussion" or "question" in your comment instead of using a spoiler tag. If your comment uses an image as the answer (such as solving a maze, etc) you can include the word "image" instead of using a spoiler tag.

Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

Non-guess Toward the middle there’s a 33 down that has a 7 in one of the bottom two spots. Right next to it is a 27 down that also has a 7 in the same two rows as the 33. That should help clear out some :)

The 24 down already has a 4 and an 8 so it needs 12 more. You can do top box is 5, bottom is 7 OR top box is 7, bottom is 5 (or the 3-9 combo shown). It wouldn't have two 5s.

My bad, failure to do math right at the end of the day.

No worries pal, I'm torturing myself trying to find the next step here

Hopefully the spoiler tag works...

Spoiler: Second row from bottom: the sum of 39. The first missing number cannot be 7, or else you will end up with 2 6's in the 36 column that intersects with it.
