Hi all! An ordinary 15x15 grid for you all this week—good luck! (parses) Thank you to Liari and MP for testing this puzzle.

Doug and Martha from Canada here…we are unsure about 25A and how WITH (A) becomes PER, and what the meaning of the leading + in the parse is. We really love your puzzles, thank you!

Hi! In 25 Across, the "with" is merely indicating juxtaposition (corresponding to the "+" in the parse)—"next to PER FOR A, backwards DET". The PER is being charaded by the word "a", because "a" can mean "per" in for example "once a day/once per day". I hope that clears things up, and thank you so much for your kind words!
