Theme: _______________
Wordplay in most across clues omits a letter from the entry. Each omission is also an extra letter generated by wordplay in a paired down clue. All such clues are paired in the same way.
In order, the across clues’ omissions form a hint to the theme, which is two words (hyphenated) and must be written below the grid. Three thematic grid entries are unclued.
Deadline for entries is 23:59 BST on Saturday 4 April. You need to register once and then sign in to theguardian.com to enter our online competition for a £100 monthly prize.
