NOTES FROM THE SETTER Five entries are thematic, which are indicated as such in the relevant clues. These clues provide only an oblique hint (not necessarily referring to theme). 18 cells are circled in the grid. Solvers must use these letters to arrive at a catchphrase (3,4,4,3,4) suggested by the thematic entries and title

Here’s the link to the Interactive Version. If you need it, you can get a PDF, by opening the grid and then choosing File, Print and Print to PDF
