I've been sharing mostly themeless puzzles lately, so I've spent the last few days thinking about themes and other constructing experiments to try. A couple of related phrases popped into my head and I found some matching lengths and started to put them in a grid, but I'm hestitant to call this a truly themed puzzle. In other words, don't expect really clever wordplay or a big revealer; I think this is just a grid full of fun answers and clues with a sprinkling of glue that holds some of them together.
Speaking of the grid, I rather like how this one turned out, especially having never made one with such a strikingly non-square shape! I admit it's pretty heavy on the 3 letter entries, so I tried to make some of those clues pop for the sheer fun of it, and I hope this is all balanced out by a bunch of fun 7s, as well as the longer "theme" entries. So, let me know what you think! (I'm also labeling this post as a "spicy" puzzle, but just because of a few raunchy clues, especially in the NW.)
Finally, if you're looking for a similar "small theme" puzzle like this, check out BWS Puzzle 2: Online activities these days.
Enjoy the solve, and share if you do! Constructive feedback in the comments is always welcome.
