Sunday Telegraph Cryptic No 3332 (Hints)
Hints and tips by Senf
A very good Sunday morning from Winnipeg on this last day of Meteorological Summer. Personally, I am old fashioned so ‘my’ Summer will end Astronomically on the Autumnal Equinox in 22 days time.
For me, and I stress for me,© Dada still friendly, with a grid that is slightly more ‘wonky’ than the one from two weeks ago, with 3 non-anagram long ‘uns, 6 anagrams (5 partials), 2 lurkers (one reversed), and 1 homophone all in 29 clues in a very asymmetric grid; with 15 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!

It was a pleasure to see the name of Artix when I printed off the puzzle this morning. He’s not at his most tricky here but it’s an enjoyable Friday Toughie.
Artix regularly incorporates a theme in his puzzles and, just as regularly, I fail to spot it. I look forward to someone explaining today’s to me.
