A
nice quick crossword to end the week from Pedro. One or two tricky bits
of wordplay, I think, but I readily got several answers from the
definitions first and then worked out the wordplay. All done and dusted
for me in under 5 minutes. We've got a few examples of the need to "lift and separate"
today (23A, 7D and 14D), where you need to avoid the misdirection to
find the definition by splitting a combination of words. As someone said
in a comment on one of the 15x15 blogs earlier in the week where they
were bamboozled by the setter like this, "Redoubling my resolve to read
each clue as a succession of single words as a result." My LOI was 14D,
which was one of them. The clues I liked most were 23A and 4D.
Lovely-jubbly stuff. Thanks Pedro. How did everyone else like it?
