Title: Theme idea + advice
Post by: Saul Pink on September 23, 2018, 11:30:45 AM

Constructing my second puzzle and I am having some issues with my theme. My theme is celebrities who have names that are sentences. Examples of my entries are ROSA PARKS and JEREMY IRONS. I have 4 theme entries. I am not sure whether I should have SENTENCES as a giveaway in the middle row, or simply consistently clue my theme entries. An example of a clue would be having {Civil rights activist stops her car} for ROSA PARKS or {English actor smoothens his clothes} for JEREMY IRONS. Any advice?

I don't think the reveal is necessary, and that would make room for another themed.

No need for a reveal. The theme is cute and straightforward -- more theme entries will be more fun.

Just sitting around thinking of names:
Abe Burrows
Gil Bellows
John Waters
Julian or Tommy Sands
George Burns
Stephanie Powers
PJ Soles
Megan Follows
Brooke Shields

Just a roll or so... While most end in "s", I bet there are some past tenses too, but none came to mind.

Great past tense!
