Is any one else having trouble printing this ? I wonder if they had such a huge increase in entries last month that they've built in a glitch to stop you printing it off the web!!


I have the grid but the clues are all in little squares. I can do it by reading the clues of the web page but it isn't very easy as they are tiny. shame because it looks rather fun and innovative after the disappoining Telegraph on Monday!

Hi macpark
Just printed my copy and it is O.K.
I have to have my reading glasses as the print is rather small but otherwise it is fine !
Hi Shaneystar could you post the website for this puzzle again as I seem to have lost it.
Hi JimJools....

my printer was obviously having an off-day as it's all OK now. Haven't got a clue what it's all about but I'll start with the straight-forward stuff and do a Scarlet O'Hara on the rest of it!

I've solved all the clues bar one ( the pencil) and I've written out all the other letters and links but can I find the series ? Not yet.


Do artists come into it somewhere ? Somebody Elder, Isabel ?, Donatello ?

Hi, Did anyone get a reply as to whether the downloaded printed version is acceptable as an official entry?


Many thanks.

I think most feedback is positive on this point.

ulysses I would love to know what you have for 28d because I thought the answer was Yorkshire but it doesn't fit with 42 and 44 across which I feel sure are right (epidermal and Brinjal)

I think 28d will be CLEVELAND

Hi Minoru, if 28d is Cleveland what do you have for 42a and 44a - I have the same as Macpark which I think are right.

JimJools,


I have the same answers as you. Epidermal fits in with Cleveland. I still haven't a clue about the theme and what goes in between A and B

Hi again Minoru, the letters I have for 28d at the moment are ?????e?l? the 'e' from Epidermal and the 'l' from Brinjal. So Cleveland does not fit for 28d - I must be going wrong somewhere - I am finding it quite difficult this time.

Puzzle solved 'Cleveland' is the answer to 29d not 28d. :-)

Question Author
thanks guys and sorry I steered everyone wrong with my numbering. Don't think that I'll ever get this finished but could someone put me out of my misery on 7d and 24ac?????
Hi Macpark I don't have 7d and if it is 23a you want have - Raeburn - but if it is 24d I don't have that either. I am really struggling with this one. I think it is a lot harder than the last one.
7d is nutpecker
Question Author
It was indeed 24d Jimjools. I don't know what's up with me - I can't even get the number of the clues right!
Don't have the first idea what the theme is that's running through it. Thanks for 7d Ulysses - your obviously firing on all cylinders if you've finished it bar 1
Question Author
Just had a thought - based on very little it has to be said other than reading the clues with "before" and "after" cropping up. Could it be monarchs?

Ulysses - if you still haven't got 21d, try tortillon.


Can't think of 24d yet...


The only lead I have on the series so far is that 19d looks like Sir Edward Elgar...?
