| Clue 13 was my favourite, with a nice definition and a good surface that made it superior to the other clues involving Big Brother – 31 and 46. It also stood out as being a unique example where all the other good ideas were used by two or more competitors. The “trivial telly – ill” anagram was a clever idea, used by two clues 34 and 39 and I gave them joint second as both seemed equally sound to me with good and lit definitions. 5 36 49 and 55 were close behind, again nice and lits, with nothing to divide them, so getting 1 point each. There were a number of other attempts at and lit anagrams which I felt deserved merits – 7 9 23 35 52. I felt the others I gave points to were either more elegantly expressed, or the anagrams used here were slightly more contrived (verily seemed a little forced, and I preferred vile tarty to live tarty as a more accurate description) but nonetheless were all good efforts. |
