    what is a funambulist? i mean, i looked it up and its a tightrope walker, but how common of a word is it? is it well-known, or do you just like it?

      It's definitely a bit obscure! I meant for it to be a cool new word for most solvers, that would only get filled in by deduction once most of the letters are there (while also rewarding prior vocabulary).
