    Cute theme. I'd never heard of the one at 21A, but clean otherwise!
    • Mateo Cruzas 5:47 · 2024-02-03T02:37:25.884Z
      I'm confused by 11A, since when is a carpet a bullet? good puz !

        Confused also.

        Very clever, love it! Had never heard of a horn shark before. (Not the prettiest in my eyes, but what does it care?)
        To the other comments, Kieran's title is key: the theme entries literally "jump" the name of a shark: MAGIC BULLET is actually MAGIC CARPET, jumping a BULL shark; DEHORNING is actually DETICKING, jumping a HORN shark; and DIRECT LOANS is actually DIRECT LINES, jumping a LOAN shark. Again, very clever! And I didn’t figure it out until after I filled in the whole grid.

          That still doesn’t make sense to me. Feels like a cryptic in that sense, which my autism just doesn’t get. :/

            Thanks for the explanation! Very clever, indeed!
