Ev 1159

Is this the easiest EV ever?

[Rayandad]

My only doubt is the meaning of "delete" in the instructions. Does it mean "cross out" or "blank out". If the latter, which was my first thought, it would be possible to get some entries wrong but still submit a correct solution.

I might be being a bit pedantic but there is nothing else to think about after having completed it so quickly. Sunday is going to be a bit dull now.

Hasn't been too hard, I guess, although that's not really a problem.

[DocHH]

It comes very close to being the most straightforward. I have finished a few in less time, but not many. I read "deleted" as erased.

[novalis]

I read "delete" as "erase" as well. It was rather straightforward but, at least, it gave me time to finish the Spectator crossword. The weather here is miserable and will need drowning out with a glass or three of S. African red.

This did not take too long, managed to do in bed this am, as my turn for a lie in whilst other half looked after kids. Enjoyed it a lot, did not have to go for dictionary, so perfect. Thank you.
Not finished spectator yet, but finally finished magpie lot mid week. Little tempted to go print azed, as family watching frozen.

[roslyn251254]

yep - nice easy puzzle this week. Now to look at the Listener!

[Christiana]

After weeks of playing catch-up for various reasons, I now find myself 'crosswordless' for the rest of the week, so will look at Spectator, probably, or Azed. Made quite a nice change not to have to struggle too much

Yes, no blood, sweat nor tears here today for a change.
