ST 3339 (Hints)

Sunday Telegraph Cryptic No 3339 (Hints)

Hints and tips by Senf

A very good Sunday morning from Winnipeg where it is cooling down and the red scarf has been very much in evidence.  It is getting close to the time when the black coat will have to come out of the closet!

For me, and I stress for me,© much better than last Sunday but not much value for money with only 27 clues.  Three longish ones, 7 anagrams (4 partials), 1 lurker reversed, and no homophones; with 14 hints ‘sprinkled’ throughout the grid, you should/might be able to get the checkers to enable the solving of the unhinted clues.

If it is some time since you read, or if you have never read the instructions in RED below the hints then please consider doing so before commenting today as my electronic blue pencil is at the ready and the Naughty Step is OPEN!

The first few answers went in very quickly and I thought this was going to be pretty straightforward. It did get a wee bit trickier towards the bottom but I don’t think this will cause regular Toughie solvers too many problems.

Thanks to Kcit.
