TEACHER, BUCK, REVOLUTION, SHOT, TIE, TRIANGLE, GENIUS, OCTOPUS, MISSILE.
MISSILE + REVOLUTION + SHOT = "war". Will hit yellow STAR, but that's an acceptable hit.
"ocean" - OCTOPUS and TRIANGLE. Might as well start with that.
(gives "ocean" clue)
OCTOPUS down. TRIANGLE down.
Remaining words: TEACHER, BUCK, REVOLUTION, SHOT, TIE, GENIUS, MISSILE.
SHOT donated.
Remaining words: TEACHER, BUCK, REVOLUTION, TIE, GENIUS, MISSILE.
"smartly dressed" would clue TIE, TEACHER, and GENIUS, hopefully. The question is if it's allowed. I think so, but I'll double-check.
