13DN Make fun of = mock
ReplyDeleteShade=colour=orange
Thanks KKR
DeleteRole of "one under"
DeleteMake fun of one= mock
DeleteI took it as ref to one(sun) under (below the horizon) giving yellowish red or orange shade.
Delete15d: Simple, 'nada' is the Spanish word for 'nothing'
ReplyDeleteThanks CV, the hyphen fooled me
Delete7AC Containment indicator for long in pain missing? Or is it OK CV Sir?
ReplyDeleteSuffering = in pain
DeleteThanks Col.
DeleteI always felt suffering=pain and "in pain" is suffer
...or can we take it as (long pain)* with poor as anind?
ReplyDeletePoor = Anagram indicator
Deletelong = Anagram fodder
suffering = in pain
creature = PANGOLIN {PA{LONG*}IN}
Thank you Col. I took the easy way out- without going into it fully.
DeleteOrganon & Ortolan were new to me.
ReplyDelete20D ALLURE = Attraction, Boy =AL, Royal = R, blue - b (boy turns out)= LUE, AL LU R E , (boy on double duty)
ReplyDeleteNot correct
DeleteRoyal blue -boy allure
ReplyDeleteBrilliant
Delete20D ALLURE (azure - z + ll) (azure blue, boys ll, attraction allure)
ReplyDeleteNot correct
Delete20 d turns -z
ReplyDeleteAbove is wrong. I think it is ROYAL BLUE - BOY = RALLUE (anagram) don't know where the angrind is
ReplyDeleteIt is a composite Anagram ( In a composite anagram, you need to find the answer to the question: what can I mix with a given word or phrase, to get another given word or phrase?)
DeleteThanks Col. Learning one bit at a time.
DeleteCould get to solving the puzzle now only. Found it tough all the way. Pangolin, Mullein,Oragnon, Oracy,Ortalon,Divine, Snotty & Gorgon were especially challenging.
ReplyDeleteBy now, we know Arden or (H)arden as Raju would like to call him. Not that I differ!
