Been There

@SP Disagree that the theme didn’t help. Somewhat stymied until I found the revealer. Theme answers basically revealed themselves after that and the puzzle took just over half my average.

@Barry Ancona Agree. Came here expecting a litany of complaints about the puzzle being too easy… Half my average, nearly a PB.

@Sara O'Bannon Try deleting all your answers and then retyping. Worked for me last Sunday when I couldn’t get the gold star with a correctly filled grid. (I do suspect that I had a typo I couldn’t see… )
