Sunday Telegraph Cryptic No 3319 (Hints)
Hints and tips by Senf
A very good Sunday morning from Winnipeg where serious wildfires continue in NW and SE Manitoba with air operations for ‘water bombers’ and RCAF aircraft for evacuation being hampered by the smoke and some towns have been evacuated completely. Similar conditions prevail to the West of us in Saskatchewan and Alberta.
For me, and I stress for me©, Dada very friendly once again – six anagrams (two partials), three lurkers (one reversed), and one homophone all in an asymmetric 29 clues; with 14 hints ‘sprinkled’ throughout the grid, you should be able to get the checkers to enable the solving of the unhinted clues. And, remember, my electronic blue pencil is at the ready and the Naughty Step is OPEN!
Candidates for favourite – 12a, 23a, 27a, 4d, and 6d.
As is usual for the weekend prize crosswords, a number of the more difficult clues have been selected and hints provided for them.
