BD Rating – Difficulty * Enjoyment ***
It falls to Anthony Plumb to provide us with the last back page puzzle of the year & as Senf would say it’s about as typical Tuesdayish as you can get. I’ll avoid 7 on RogB’s BD bingo card (see yesterday’s comments) & just award the one * for difficulty as I doubt many will need to refer to any hints. As ever concisely clued & an enjoyable solve.
The migration to the new puzzles site took some getting used to for those solving digitally but it has been another tremendous year of high quality DT guzzles. Many thanks to Chris Lancaster & all of the compilers who provide us with our daily fix. All that remains is to wish everyone connected with the blog a very happy & healthy new year.
In the following hints, definitions are underlined, indicators are mostly in parentheses, and answers are revealed by clicking where shown as usual. Please leave a comment below on how you got on with the puzzle.
