The Very Logical Prize Puzzle 375

[Matakari]

Good evening, a smooth grid fill, but no sight of the
eight words yet, though! Nevertheless, a great warm
up for tomorrow's Spectator.

Hi Matakari. The eight answers lay in '1a, 11a, 16a, 32a, 40a, 2d, 10d and 24d

All partial letters (at the start) as written in the preamble.

All eight are linked to find the theme.

Hope this helps.

Matakari, a real treat for you today - another Fieldfare puzzle!

Klazom if you're looking in... ditto!

[Matakari]

Many thanks, Klazo and NACW, yes, I'm having a go at Fieldfare that seems interseting enough!

[klazomaniac]

Glad I could help Matakari.

Matakari, you really should be able manage this week's puzzle . There are some good anagrams for you and only a few tricky clues. Remember your years of experience, the hundreds of puzzles under your belt etc - you know more than you think you know!

Thanks, Klazo. This one was not too tricky and quite good fun.

Can't see how those 8 answers are connected...help please klazo

[klazomaniac]

Hi Pomona,

First 4 letters of 1a give a word

First 4 letters of 11a give another

Have a think what they might have in common. If you're still stuck (come back and I will help you further) :-)

[klazomaniac]

As the preamble says :

8 answers display (AT THE START)

It's NOT the whole of the words (Just the front X amount of letters)

[pomona]

[klazomaniac]

HI Pomona, Drop the 'R'
