Knew the topic from the first word but couldn't find another. After the second the others easily fell into place.

The theme was fairly obvious, but words were a little twisty.

I figured what the theme was, but took me forever to find the first word and spangram. Once I got the spangram though, I saw everything else pretty quickly.

Theme was obvious after finding one, but the spamgram was a little tough. Interestingly, there is an actual word for this, they just didn't use it.

Onomatopoeia? No. Palindrome? No. Maybe something less jargon-y, R?... Repetition!
I had a harder time entering in couscous than finding the words.

Some of their choices really bug me. Maybe it's too long?

As soon as you work out what they're doing with the words this one is stupidly easy.

Actually found the spangram first legitimately. Then it took a minute or so to find the next word. Got stuck on couscous at the end since I somehow didn't notice an extra letter I was missing lol.

I actually got the spanagram right away this time. I saw the hint and thought so something like repetition? And then I saw the "rep" at the top It took me a bit to start finding the actual words, but it was easy after that

The gag was pretty obvious since there were clusters of the same letters everywhere.

They've done similar things in The Mini. The clue might be something like "a dance when doubled" and the answer would be can or cha. But I guess that wouldn't work here because theme words are more than 3 letters.

Joke's on y'all, I didn't know shit.

I saw Queen thanks to the Q, then I saw rock and was sure it had to be part of the spangram, but couldn't figure out where it connected.

Had an easy time with Queen, the spangram, and the upper right side. But it took me forever to work out that bottom left part. Until I got Journey, then it all clicked.

I absentmindedly selected Rush, and was surprised when it worked. It took a tick to figure it the theme, but it went quick after that.

Well the fact that they can't begin with "the" narrows it down quite a bit.
