Whilst some clues had definitions that seemed far too weak, there were far more clues than usual that I wanted to award points to included: 6, 17, 25, 30, 32, 36, 37, 39, 42, 43, 44, 47, & 52.
Outstanding clues for me were: my favourite 44 concise, clever and a superb surface, 52 which will be appreciated by those who Googled 'Calicos Havens'
, 32 my second favourite and unbelievably brief, 36 my third place – loved the def here! |

Many very good clues this month and I found it hard to separate them. It seems this Iceland thing has inspired setters. Last week's offering in The Week by Tim Moorey was excellent, and a regular setter in a daily was telling me how he had painstakingly produced a crossword with that unpronounceable island in the unches, for it to be rejected as having already been done.
1st (2 pts): 41
2nd= (1.5 points each): 25, 37, 42, 48, 50, 53
8th= (0.5 points each): 4, 10, 15, 23, 38, 40, 44, 46 |
