Enjoy.

Thank you very much, Daniel.

Thanks DJA

I'm not always a fan of crosswords containing non-words, but once I'd realised the reason here I quite enjoyed it.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Thanks, DJA.

Thanks DJA
Like you K don't much like non-words but this was clever, particularly liked 5 being 5.
However, could someone tell me what orne is please? An abbreviation?

[kayakamina]

Orne is a department in France.

[teenieleek]

Thank K, explains why it's not in the dictionary.

Hi DJA, I am new to this site, and new to The Spectator crosswords (at which I am hopeless). I'd be grateful if you could explain how this site works. I think you send out a copy of the crossword? thank you.

Many thanks, Daniel. Before I begin, if all but one of the unclued lights is not a real word, how do I know what to put in?

[kayakamina]

Hi Zita

Once you have established the theme, the non-words will become clear.

[zita-green]

Thank you, K; here goes, then.
