Crossing Pairs #4
Another Crossing Pairs! Note: You know how the instructions to these always have the bit about how you can use the alphabetical order of the clues to tell what order the words in a crossing pair go in? And how it was always seemed unnecessary and over-complicated because it was obvious what order to put the two words in to make an idiom? Well in this one the crossing pairs are mostly non-idiomatic, so knowing the order actually matters now! Note: The cryptic-only theme clues are a little extra cryptic here--some of them have multiple possible solutions. You'll need to use crossers to clarify which is correct, so maybe be a little careful when filling them in. Note: Thanks to Elder and Skaldskaparmal for the test solves! (Fullscreen solve here .)
