Impressive feat of construction and bravo to the constructor for that, but the sacrifice of enjoyable fill to make the theme work was not worth it in my opinion. I'll take clever words over a gimmicky theme any day thankyouverymuch!
@dutchiris thank you for this bit of inspirational information (informational inspiration?). I am a single childfree mid-40s lady and am starting to worry a bit about navigating the challenges of life on my own as I age. Filling out "seeking an emergency contact, someone who can drive me home from a colonoscopy" doesn't seem like good dating profile material (even if I could stomach dating on apps). Btw, I just went into escrow on a cute little bungalow in Oakland (first time home buyer!) so we are neighbors.
I am both a surfer and a (former) ballerina and had never heard of a SKEG, and for "Ballet bound" I couldn't get past thinking about people excitedly on their way to watch the ballet. Even when I filled in JETE with crosses it didn't click at first without the accent mark. Jeet? Jet? Ohhhhhh, obviously, jeté! As in leap, as in bounding across the floor. I certainly did a lot of that in my day, but today felt like more of a slog than a leap or dash through this tricky puzzle.
@Ann and much thanks to you, I now know that you can zoom in on the grid! I've been squinting at my phone all this time (especially on Sundays). Can't believe I didn't try that before.
@Mike are you sure you didn't fall into the ABYSS of ABYSM/MAXIMUM? I also though the app wasn't working and after spending several minutes looking over my answers had to resort to check puzzle.
