I enjoyed the "parts of speech" theme largely because the answers are not parts of speech but rather parts of
speech. That is, the word speech itself, not nouns and gerunds. And, just to ice the cake, the answers appear in order. That is, the first three letters of
speech are SPE, and the first theme answer is
SPELLINGBEE. The second three are PEE, and the second theme answer is
PEEPINGTOM; etc.
