Quite an entertaining puzzle; medium difficulty although I had to reverse-engineer three or four of the modified answers to solve.

Thanks, Nudd.

upsetter

Agree with emcee but are still puzzling as to how the setter knew that these words were treatable in the required manner.

We rather enjoyed the reverse engineering.

perseverer

Made an early assumption from part of the message about the treatment which worked well for a number of answers, but then left me struggling for a bit.
I suspect there will have been computer involvement on finding suitable words.
Thamks Nudd.

An excellent puzzle - it took quite a while to spot the means of modification and then the few bits of reverse engineering were (as upsetter says) very enjoyable.

Thanks Nudd - another one in the good run of puzzles which we have at the moment.

Cruncher

Nice clueing and have the message sorted. Still have half of the grid to fill but hopefully it will be a straightforward run. Marvellous piece of engineering.

Scorpius

Very enjoyable old-style Listener. No internet-searching for a change. Like some others, I had to reverse engineer a few answers.

Philoctetes

A nice challenge, delayed by an alternative justifiable answer

One of the first (unpublished) puzzles I wrote had this theme. I just dug it out, along with the wordlist I used, and that helped me solve it quickly once the penny dropped. Nudd's is a lot better, as he fitted in more thematic words than I did, and he incorporated the treatment into the clues very neatly.

I remember it took a while to generate, but there are some interesting things in the results list. I don't think it's the last time we'll have seen this gimmick.

Thanks, Nudd!

Luckily I was able to deduce the transformation after solving a handful of clues, otherwise I would have struggled.

Like others I enjoyed the reverse engineering, and I appreciated the absence of an endgame requiring a combination of Google and telepathy.

Thanks, Nudd.
