It’s been a few weeks since I posted one of these – and in fact I didn’t intend to. This was meant for newspaper publication but I’ve held it back because some of the answers are a bit more obscure than I’d like. The interactive puzzle here: http://crossword.info/anaxcrosswords/SFTW006 also has a link to a PDF so you can print it off.
PS: The PDF shows “Telegraph Toughie Sample 3” at the top. Completely ignore that – it’s just something on the puzzle template which I forgot to remove, and nothing to do with the Toughie series.
Still stuck on two and a half clues, but a very enjoyable Friday afternoon diversion, thank you.
Many thanks, Anax – I really enjoyed it.
I only found one answer [23ac – shame on me!] obscure but the cluing was spot on – super surface! Favourite clue, I think, 15ac: excellent &lit! [I smiled at 21 dn, too.]
It’s also a double pangram spotting which enabled me to complete with indecent haste 🙂
Many thanks to Anax for the extra bonus too.
