- deryk 🤓6:09 · 2023-11-18T02:26:37.027ZCouple of tricky spots (though I'm admittedly a novice), certainly had to mull over a couple suffixes and dated vocabulary. I enjoy that, though - like hitting a muscle at the gym that hasn't gotten a workout in a while - ha. Thanks for the puzzle!
- Waann 🤓11:00 · 2023-11-18T11:46:52.334ZLoved it! But the poison in apple seeds is cyanide rather than arsenic.
- Thankyou! My misremembering slipped through test solving too - fixed now

- sjones8888 9:17 · 2023-11-18T23:38:55.806ZI'm feeling very dense. I don't get what "drought" has to do with the starred clues. Can someone explain?
- Absolutely! In each of the starred clues, the entry clued before the arrow loses the letters RAIN, resulting in the grid entries clued by the second halves: RESTRAINING ➜ RESTING9AStopping ➜ Stopping *[-------]; TRAINED ➜ TED11AWorked with coach Lasso, for example ➜ Coach Lasso, for example *[---]; FEATHER-BRAINED ➜ FEATHERBED17ALike a silly goose ➜ Sleeping spot that might be made of goose parts *[----------]; RAINBOW CHASERS ➜ BOW CHASERS; RAIN MAN33ADustin Hoffman film ➜ Dustin Hoffman, for one *[---] ➜ MAN33ADustin Hoffman film ➜ Dustin Hoffman, for one *[---]. The title is also affected: Rainout ➜ Out. Hope that helps!
- sjones8888 9:17 · 2023-11-20T05:17:02.109ZAh! I get it now. Thanks for explaining.
- I solved the whole thing and I don't fully get it either! The entry that gave me some insight was 33A33ADustin Hoffman film ➜ Dustin Hoffman, for one *[---]: "Rain Man" is the film, and with the water removed (here, RAIN) it becomes just MAN33ADustin Hoffman film ➜ Dustin Hoffman, for one *[---], which fits the second half of the clue. But I couldn't figure out the other theme entries, so I'd appreciate the explainer too!
- Kerry 20:18 · 2023-11-19T13:06:02.118ZThanks for making it but a lot of the hints are wrong or don't make sense.
- Neathery 6:31 · 2023-11-19T19:20:14.046ZThanks!
