Listener 4358 The Other Letter By Wan

Can't find an earlier post.

Quite a challenge from Wan with some tricky wordplays and misprints/extra letters. Highlighting not too difficult if you have an idea where to look.

Thanks to Wan

emcee, I fully agree with you about the clues. Some of these were gems.

Specifically, I'd say that misprints in wordplay - done well - can really make the solver's task much harder and still be good fun. And there were some very neat definitions, too.

Really enjoyed this.

I don't think you need to apologise, Wan, for the difficulty of the grid-staring. Once one had grasped the essentials of what had to be highlighted (with the symmetry to help) there were only two plausible possibilities that had 43 squares, and then it wasn't too hard to check, even though the members might not have been too familiar. Vicious but fair, like Dinsdale Piranha.

Doh!
Obscure members of the first group - but we were searching for a different symmetry completely, despite knowing what we were looking for.
Clever stuff, Wan - no apologies needed.
