Hi Tommy,
It looks like the copy in the post is from a prior puzzle. But the printout is just fine.
It was an excellent puzzle, Tommy, I thought. I only missed one, and when I saw the answer it quickly shot to the number one spot as Clue of the Day: MISS WORLD. I don't mind missing one answer when the clue is so clever.
My notes along the way:
E-COSY-STEM: a nicely parsed word ... I never would have seen it!
OSSIFY: lovely "sounds like" clue.
LEE: the first of a fine set of bobby clues today.
SETANTA: Lookup of the Day!
BATTERIES: I don't know why, but this fairly obvious anagram took me forever!
SINISTRAL: a well-disguised deletion, and bronze medal for Clue of the Day in my book.
INSIDE JOB: nice use of "patient man" ... might steal that one!
FLORIN: Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Runner up for Clue of the Day, and it was close!
One of your best so far, in my humble opinion. Many thanks!
Bill
Hi Tommy and Bill
I usually browse with Mozilla Firefox but had to switch to Int. Explorer today to print the puzzle...refused to open in Firefox...anyway the main thing is...I got it...and you got me...like Bill...shamefully MISSed WORLD!...and also missed (in Bill's words!) the 'well-disguised deletion' (of 'we') in 7d and somehow ended up with SINISTRAE...A-SISTER-IN...not an outLAW...or some such lack of logic!!
You spot some great anagram material Tommy...I loved EARWIG...and 'neglectful of fifty'/GENUFLECT...I'd be on my knees trying to spot that as a compiler (which I'm not)!
ECOSYSTEM was another great 'find'...
NO SHOW...loved this... although when I came up with the solution initially, the 'sounds like' put me off awhile...it was more a 'looks like' to me?!
OSSIFY, CAREEN and DIVINE were among my other favourites...but those hard men Robert and Bobby get my No. 1 slot today!
Thanks for a lovely puzzle Tommy
