Do not worry . Forgive me if you have realised it already but 1. e clues are as follows ;
Across 1,6,13 OK
14 ( 9 )
Then simply bring the number of letters ascribed to one clue down to the next . So 16 becomes 9,6,7
Down
1. (9)
then all others take their no. fomr the previos clue .
Thanks Alcibiades. Clever of you to have seen through the Times latest dodgy attempt to confuse its readership.
I would be interested to know how errors like that occur.
Also, does the print edition check out normally?
