It's a real shame to publish this on the same day as a much better version is featured. In fact, it's a shame to publish it at all. Given the theme word, X, we've got three different kinds of clues:

(a) Pictures of words containing X (e.g. #1).
(b) Pictures that clue words by using X in them (e.g. #2).
(c) Pictures that clue words by showing X things (e.g. #3).

That's extremely clumsy.

6 seems like it should be foursome, but that doesn't fit.

[1] and [3] #6 is a generic mathematical term for what you see.

[2] I imagine that's why this one is UNfeatured. While it's true that it suffers by comparison to tonight's featured hypercross, it was enjoyable in its own way, so I'm glad it wasn't rejected. What better time to publish it than at 7:44 on 7/4?

But it's not just that it suffers in comparison, J; it's also the dreadful inconsistency in cluing.

[5] Many of the unfeatured puzzles are clumsy in one way or another. I really miss the daily hypers, and I'd much rather see one that plays with words (albeit inconsistently) than one that makes me google obscure images.
