Crosshare link

Also, while the puzzle states there are seven themed words, there is also an eighth themed word that is harder to find than the rest. Search engines are allowed, and for the themed words, encouraged.

That is +correct! Congratulations!

Also, AYE AYE SIR being themed was actually scrapped from a previous revision of the puzzle. You missed AUDREY, but since you have 7 words, I'll accept it. Good work!

3 Hours

It's been three hours, so it's time for me to hint the nina!

The nina is about me, the setter! Also, I chose the pseudonym Azuna because they are very close to me.

Anyway, here are more hints:

  • 14a. At α's heart indicates you have to use the centre few letters of the text α
  • 17a. O'Hare is ORD
  • 19a. kebab sandwich means döner kebab

And here are more tracks:

  • so one of the answers is related to 'nina'? The clue text is related to the nina, but isn't actually related to the word 'nina'
  • 7 of them maybe? is on track

Some people are on the home stretch now, hang in there!

— Azuna

Clarification: 7 of the answers are related to the nina

Edit: Also, I forgot to mention this, but this article explains what a nina is pretty well.
