Clever, interesting, well constructed :)

Good grid

Thanks both, needed a comeback after my last one :)

26511? wouldn't worry too much- we've all done non unique grids at one point- it was otherwise very well done, and you are a consistently good setter. It's an easy mistake which tends to happen to better setters who are good at putting in red herrings and crossing the groups over- sometimes it comes back and bites you on the bum!

Yeah still annoyed as could have picked any state

Nice grid stumped on Spanish
