Oo! I've got an Alfie crossword to blog. As we all know by now (I hope) that should mean we have something alphabetical in the solution... and indeed we do. Click on the link below to see what I spotted. As for the crossword, well, as always with Alfie, it is not too easy and there are few clues that might cause some head scratching for a lot of us, I think. It certainly did for me, taking me over 1 1/2 times my average time at over 9 minutes. It is, incidentally a lipogram, containing every letter of the alphabet in the answers except a V. But that is not the alphabetical trick...

Each of the Across answers and each of the Down answers is in alphabetical order. Quite a feat of grid filling - try it for yourself if you don't believe me.
