Morning K! Did you enjoy Azed this week? Good puzzle but I'm not keen on "nonwords" being entered in grids!

[kayakamina]

Hi Ros. I never really enjoy the puzzles without 'real' words. Although the double letter idea was a good one I was just a tad disappointed with it.

There was an EV a few years back which also had non words and it caused a bit of a stink among solvers.

Regards K

To all ! How does one put a question ?

[roslyn251254]

Near the top of your page there is a box" enter your question" - write the title here e.g. Times cryptic 984 etc

Then in the box underneath give more details, clue number, full clue, letters you have placed etc

a box" enter your question" Aha ! I see no box; My configuration must be wrong, in some way. Thanks, anyhow . . .
