3. A novel mobile app working without problem (8) |
1. | I don't understand your explanation |
|
5. Arranged op left recurring pain in canine |
1. | nice clue, arranged is an obvious anagrind that doesn't add anything to the surface though. 'botched' o.e. would be better in that regard |
|
13. Dog with off-colour leg after pee apparently ! (8) |
1. | By far the best clue of many, with 'dog' as the definition. Cheeky & amusing. Points here. Got to be up there. |
|
15. Edit characters deleted from confusing, ill-appointed McQueen movie |
1. | Nice effort but I think edit also needs an anagram indicator |
|
16. Father about to swallow tablet that's covered in film |
1. | Well disguised definition albeit it extremely broad! |
|
20. In novel form, this was advertised as “Devil’s Island: two appear!” (8) |
1. | A decent comp. anag. Points from me. |
|
22. Little dog (leader of pack) endlessly galloping around (8) |
1. | 'Galloping' is a good spot. Points here. |
|

1. | Clever but not much to go on. I suspect this will do quite well however. |
|
30. Old man quietly sick over dog |
1. | Unpleasant but smoothly satisfying and worthy of points |
|
31. One endlessly chasing past with ball? |
1. | Neat and concise &lit. Points here. Deserves to be up there. |
|
32. One lounges primarily on lap, softly barking |
1. | Good clue with a clever anagrind. Points here. It's 'lapdog' rather than 'lap dog' according to Chambers. | 2. | A little indirect but nicely done |
|
35. Pip and Lola play with a new toy (8) |
1. | This clue works much better without the "a". |
|
