- Fun fill ... but I don't understand the theme entries or revealer. Could you share an explanation? Thanks!
- (There's also at least one typo in my comments about your typos. I meant 34 Across34A"___ bad idea"[----], not 32 Across which doesn't exist.)
- I can't work out what the theme means either, apart from the middle section of each clue being the actual clue, in the format "[other stuff] to [actual clue] without [other stuff]?"Also, you've got a couple typos in the clues:
-
32 Across has an extra "a".
-
The clue for 22 Down22DShow up at by schooner[------] isn't parallel with the answer unless you add a preposition, like "show up at by schooner."
Fun puzzle! I learned a new word in 16 Across16AMeasure of reflectivity[------].- Thank you for the fixes! Proofreading has never been my strong point lol so I appreciate you taking the time
-
- I figured out two of the themers: In 1A1AChange light to respond without Mme.?[-----], "without Mme." means there's an FR (French class) missing in the middle, so REFRACT becomes REACT1AChange light to respond without Mme.?[-----]. The clue for AGE27ACaptivate to grow older without Prof.?[---] (without Prof.) means ENG is missing, in this case at the beginning, so ENGAGE becomes AGE27ACaptivate to grow older without Prof.?[---]. I can't figure out the "without Sra." clue - presumably SP or SPAN is missing from the answer, but I couldn't relate it to the answer. Perhaps after my coffee fully kicks in.
- Ha yes that's it, I've never worked with rebuses before so I just reclued the revealer to hopefully make it easier to understand - thank you for the help!
- Ohh, so maybe SPACE, as in spacing out, ignoring things?
