Took me five hints today.

I'm nowhere near awake, though

I had trouble finding a theme word to know what to look for until I got a second cup of coffee.

sammmme. Did this at 4 a.m. while killing spam. Not sure it would've been any better if I'd been fully awake.

Ugh.

Too many short and compound words. I guessed what the clue was pointing at, but the obvious words I was looking for weren't in the puzzle.

I definitely wasn't with it today. The clue was pretty obvious after the first word but some of those didn't make any sense. A couple would not really be considered items to me if they were missing their "mate" as it were...more...trash.

In reply to Mndsm :

Agreed, too easy.

Boo...

Multiple times where I found what looked like a word, but it didn't play because it was part of a longer word. One of them I built THREE words before finding what it had in mind, and I actually could have put together two more words within it.

Went 2 different directions on the theme.  In the end, it makes way more sense.

What the hell was that? Half of that didn't make sense in the context. I mean, it did, but it could have meant literally anything.

sneaky berkeleyers. Though hitting the spanagram off the rip made the rest of it a cakewalk.
