Jj - have you found the guardian Xmas crossword ? (Sorry satprof)

[emmie]

i want to know what happened to yesterdays answer...

[JJ109]

No Toorak - it is not there yet. Normally if they miss printing it on-line it appears sometime between 3 and 4 pm Thai time - that will be in 2 - 3 hours time. We shall just have to wait and see!

[Toorak]

Jj - here it is (I found it using the search facility - it’s not on the crossword pages)

[JJ109]

Very many thanks Toorak - I shall get on with it now! Apologies Satprof for using your thread!

[satprof]

Emmie- if you are referring to yesterday's Alphapuzzle answer, it was 'patter' & you (belatedly) got the gong.

[emmie]

thanks satprof..

[satprof]

JJ - No worries.

As for 'tawny', it looks good, but there are five possible places for it to be put, so it will take a bit of time to check it out.

[satprof]

Congratulations and thanks to Toorak.

Tawny works out using what is probably the most obvious of the five possibilities. The rest of the puzzle comes out quite easily, but the letter U is a bit of a rarity.

Tawny .. 21,7,12,6,13 and Q is 22, X is 26
