I wish that the themed clues had included some indication of the unaltered words. In my opinion, it would have been more clever. For example: “Sailor who only drinks the finest grog, with his fellow seamen?” “Suitable for the middle aged, in Cowboys territory?” “Suspicious absence from school, or the culprit of the suspicious absence of a school?” Im not saying my clues are clever or difficult enough by any means, but I would have appreciated some more direction because there was limited satisfaction when I was solving. It would have been amusing to see how hand pail and catnap, or steam iron and locksmith could have been connected. The unmodified words just felt arbitrary.
