    Couple 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!

      Amazing clues!

        Loved it! But the poison in apple seeds is cyanide rather than arsenic.

          Thankyou! My misremembering slipped through test solving too - fixed now 😊

                I'm feeling very dense. I don't get what "drought" has to do with the starred clues. Can someone explain?
                • kieranjboyd constructor · 2023-11-19T01:12:48.835Z
                  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 ➜ RESTING; TRAINED ➜ TED; FEATHER-BRAINED ➜ FEATHERBED; RAINBOW CHASERS ➜ BOW CHASERS; RAIN MANMAN. The title is also affected: Rainout ➜ Out. Hope that helps!

                    Ah! 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 33A: "Rain Man" is the film, and with the water removed (here, RAIN) it becomes just MAN, 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!

                    Thanks for making it but a lot of the hints are wrong or don't make sense.

                      Thanks!

                        Very fun!
