I do recommend having a go at this one. If you haven’t done an alphabetical puzzle before, the best way to start is to list the alphabet on a separate piece of paper and writethe solutions beside the letters. I found it quite easy to spot where the A and D words had to go and that will give you enough of a start to fit in some of the other words. The rest is a mix of wordplay solving and jigsaw puzzle but very entertaining.
Thanks to Radler for yet another super Saturday puzzle – as I said to you the other day, I wouldn’t know where to start even writing a clue, let alone a whole puzzle’s worth.
My way of starting these is to look for the letters with two separate clues (K and T in this one) then use the enumeration of these to find the only possible places where those four answers can go.
I do enjoy alphabetical puzzles and this was one of the very best, thoroughly enjoyable and with a lot of laughs so many thanks to Radler. Favourite clues: P and Y.
Thanks to Radler for the crossword. As a personal preference this is not the type of crossword that I enjoy but this is no reflection on the cluing – simply that I do not like this form of solving. I shall, however, prepare the usual review.
We’re just off to the local to have a go at this. Never done one before so it should be interesting!
Well, what a great puzzle – really enjoyed the tussle! Wouldn’t mind some more of these but they must be fiendishly difficult to compile!
Took Gazza’s tip and homed in on the K and T clues and, of course the D as it is the only 13 letter answer.
Thanks to Radler for the new experience.
