I enjoyed it - typically these are more difficult to start, but once you get going and understand the theme and how it works, they become a lot easier as you can anticipate the answers and then just need to parse them.

Took me longer than usual - about 2 and a half hours compared to about one. Just persevere!

Fretworker

My thoughts exactly. I'll let this one go. Season's best wishes ..........

I'm about halfway through but I can't say I'm enjoying very much. Would have been much happier with a nice, testing Paul!

I think that 38D should be 5,3 rather than 8.

JJ109

It should, it is one of the 33 - 26 = 7 that are two words.

JJ109

What I didn't understand was why some are split into the two words eg 3d, 33a 14d with the number in the answers given as two words etc but four were not 37d 38d, 25d, 43a

Thanks Hilfwat! You gave me the answer!

"I think that 38D should be 5,3 rather than 8."

Hilfwat

Yes - it's strange. A simple proofreading error or an extra layer of subtlety?

Hilfwat

You're welcome, Aurion. jj109 did the same for me with 37D. I was looking for some very strange non-existent 8-letter word but, once you know it is two words, it's a write-in!
