Our first spiral! We’re still trying to figure out what’s the best for these. Do you lean toward more overlap between words, or does that not matter as much?  We’ll see how this one is received.

Also! Quick note — one of these clues pretty obviously dupes its own answer.  I like the clue too much to care.

For those who have never solved a spiral before, here are the instructions:

When completed, this grid will contain two series of words—one reading inward from 1 to 97, the other outward from 97 back to 1. Every space will be used exactly twice. Work from both sets of clues to complete the puzzle. Note: clue hints like (2 words) are omitted.

Enjoy the solve, and as always, if you plan to solve on Twitch, let us know about it!
