Sunday Telegraph Cryptic No 3330 (Hints)
Hints and tips by Senf
A very good Sunday morning from Winnipeg where wild fires continue across the country and most provinces have ‘outside’ fire bans in place. In Newfoundland, fines for violating the ban have been increased significantly. For example, for a first offence the fine has been increased from $75 (seventy-five dollars) to $50,000 (fifty thousand dollars) and prison time if the offender cannot pay.
For me, and I stress for me,© Dada at his friendliest with 6 anagrams (3 partials), 1 lurker, and 1 homophone all in what is probably the most asymmetric grid with 28 clues I have ever seen; 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!
