I made greater headway with the downs than the acrosses so grid filling was slow. Having an idea of the inital letter of an answer literally gives me a head start in solving. A good mixture of clues, with one or two of Dysart's usual obscurities thrown in.
An end game that was straightforward but none-the-less amusing.
Thanks, Dysart

Agreed perseverer.

We were concerned that the endgame was going to be a GWIT but it all turned out nicely in the end.

Thanks, Dysart.

Yes, another rambling theme, which took some unpicking. Plenty of tough clues and obscure answers, but there was always enough in this puzzle to keep progressing. An enjoyable workout - thanks Dysart!

After last week's false start, a successful return to a completed grid! Took, perhaps, longer than I'd care to admit to resolve the endgame, getting distracted by the possibility of a longer "first word" of the four revealed words, and then by a suggestive alternative theme based on (word 3 + opening letters of word 4). But cleared up in the end. I was too tired perhaps to appreciate it last night -- maybe because the choice of seven unclued entries feels quite arbitrary to me. But never mind. I'm glad that Dysart provided a nice, accessible puzzle that gets me back into the swing of things!

Also, my attempt to work out what GWIT stands for took me down memory lane rather. I didn't realise the phrase was coined while I was still busy solving these, as far back as 2015 ( https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Quizzes-and-Puzzles/Crosswords/Question1400568.html ), and at a time when crosswordsolver.org was still much more of a free-for-all when it came to providing help. I wonder when the "other place" changed to a much more tightly-constrained "hints only" resource?

FWIW I thought the clues were high quality and I enjoyed the challenge of completing the grid (other than the unclued entries).

The endgame looks absolutely horrid so no point attempting it.

Thanks Dysart.

Very nice. It's a shame that the last stage has two possibilities

Wasn't aware of an ambiguity in the endgame - which probably means I got it wrong. Thought the clues were hard and took me a while to convince myself about the rather (to me) random collection of unclued answers

olichant

I thought that was a very nice puzzle with (as always from Dysart) top quality clues.

I can't really see an ambiguity - which maybe should make me nervous - but I'm very content with my solution.

Hope all who gather here are well.
