Re(1): Listener 4358: The Other Letter by Wan IP: 180.180.10.171 Posted on August 28, 2015 at 09:27:43 PM by Andy Stewart
I agree with all that Robert's written. Identifying the extra letters in the across clues was very difficult at times, though, mercifully, spotting the misprints in the downs was a lot easier.
I made the mistake of trying to form a B out of 43 cells, but wherever I placed it laterally I failed to find any hidden birds so switched to BEE, but even then it was a while before I saw the letters, LANNER, which was enough to send me studying further.
Beautifully constructed, it's one of the toughest this year, and certainly one of the most satisfying. Replies:
