k) It was a new word to me, but nice to read imaginative short clues to this short word.
One narrow miss - #3 - amusing, but I think it should be 'pair', not 'pairs' for the surface reading, which would wreck the cryptic reading. The 'Certain' did not seem needed either but that was a minor point.
In reverse order 5th 1 pt #7 4th 2 pts #39 3rd 3 pts #30 Needed a little convincing that 'fat' was 'fulsome' and that the surface descriptions were not mutually exclusive, but satisfied on both counts. Reads very well. 2nd 4 pts #4 Very good surface and clear wordplay removed any reservations about a perhaps slightly vague definition. 1st #27 - I thought this was tbe best this month by a wide margin - top quality. |
