About two thirds done. Don’t recall a PD puzzle for some time. Trite to say it, given that solving some clues always helps with solving the rest, but one does seem to get into some sort of rhythm with PD puzzles so that the PD penny drops more easily as one progresses, regardless of the assistance afforded by cross checking letters.

This is all Greek to me.

Can someone give me a link?

[Calibax]

Not sure this will work

Members only it appears.

Fun puzzle. All about the clues this time. PD makes a change too.

[Tilly2]

Thank you, Calibax. No entry for me, I'm afraid.

[Alekhine]

This was fabulous. PD clues are just my kind of thing.

[Alekhine]

Question ... why does someone post before they have finished the puzzle?

In my mind it equates to "Hey, look at me. I've almost finished it before you have."

Strange.

[icynorth]

I enjoy PDs too, especially those that make me groan on solving.

Mixing the clues with misprints made for an interesting mental challenge. Thanks, Nutmeg!

As well as this thread, there's also one which appeared earlier and one which appeared later - just in case anyone wants to see all the discussions.

Alekhine, I often post before I've finished. Certainly not to show off but because weirdly it often speeds things up - I've lost count of the number of times I've posted to say "I'm stuck" and almost instantly become unstuck.
