The theme is letters on the outsides of the theme answers forming words. I should have put some shaded squares so that the theme was easier to see. I'm not sure if I can do that now
Ah I get it now - I like it! The title was clever too - I wish I had figured it out! Right now there is no way to edit the grid to add highlights, but if you want to I could add them manually for me. Shoot an email w/ the squares you'd like me to highlight?
Like Mike D, I've not spotted the theme (FALLDOWN / PUMPEDUP feel suspect), but that was a nice and very clean + polished grid to work through. Cheers :-)
I missed the theme at first but I get it now that I can see the shaded squares. I liked the grid and the clueing. Super clean with no junk fill. Looking forward to more puzzles from you in the future.
