        There aren’t that many words that fit the pattern. Well done finding four that fit symmetrically!

            What exactly is the theme here? Farm stuff? Animals?
            • Evelyn Anderson 10:58 · 2024-12-15T01:47:46.667Z
              all the theme clues are the answer to the first question with "moo" somewhere in them! then the full word is what's in italics after :) it's a clever take on the interrupting cow joke
              • Echser 10:59 · 2024-12-16T20:54:09.009Z
                Oh, no, I get that, but what is the midi-contest-12-24 theme?
          • apeminkie 🤓5:38 · 2024-12-14T13:39:40.690Z

                    Nice challenge! And though I pegged what the themers' gimmick would be before starting (great idea, by the way!), they were inspired picks. Cheers!
                    • Evelyn Anderson 10:58 · 2024-12-15T01:48:13.922Z

                          Loved it! Can someone explain 15a to me though?
                          • kieranjboyd constructor · 2024-12-16T11:07:19.833Z
                            Sure! While the brand STP is known to racing fans and longtime crossword solvers, I decided to give a hint for the rest of us that it's found within dragSTriP.

                              Oh thanks! I appreciate that…. I was trying to figure out how it connected to the theme. I guess I got thrown off by the brackets
                          • Jessica 11:08 · 2024-12-16T04:59:49.958Z
                            Great theme, thanks. I liked 19D

                              Took a minute to catch on; a fun one.

                                  I love this joke, and this puzzle does it justice. high five!
                                  • Spencer Congdon 🤓22:57 · 2025-01-01T21:59:51.372Z
                                    I quite liked the clue for the prefix in 30A; a fun pairing of standard and issue. This took me a while, but the theme clicked nicely once I understood how the cluing related to this particular answer.
