I do not have a steady hand, so my childhood OPERATION set got CORKSCREWed across the room.
It definitely is! Love the pairing of OPERATION and CORKSCREW though. KEROSENE isn't anything to write home about, and I wondered if MILE TIME was enough of "a thing" to be crossworthy. Adding a black square at the A of OPERATION or Q of ANTIQUES would have made her life a ton easier.
I admire that Madeline shot for the stars, with an audacious 72-word grid. This forces you to put your first themer in row four instead of three, compressing everything toward the middle. I wonder what Cormac McCarthy would say if you described one of his movies as a "talkie." Probably more "Blood Meridian" language than "Child of God."Ī set of themers with lengths of 14/12/12/14 is no joke for a debut. Maybe it would work if you're referring to a movie the debuted in the wane of the silent era. Shame to lose CLING FILM - this climber loved the punny connection to "Free Solo"! They're not as amazing as FLICK OF A SWITCH, since there are hundreds of movies that could fit into their clues instead of "Malcolm X" or "Jaws," but that's only something that anal analysts care about.
