For thematic reasons three times more head in than come out. Circles can be read clockwise or anti-clockwise. The second circle from the centre gives the situation (2 words) and participants (2 words). The fifth circle from the centre consists of two quotations (ODQ) both five words long. Every clue has a redundant letter produced by the wordplay. These, read in clue order, give an instruction. 26 is uncommon (confirmed by Webster) and 38 is in ODE.<br /><br />Wow!Kishorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398234335975124266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-36124874861874782912014-09-27T16:14:51.518+05:302014-09-27T16:14:51.518+05:30It is interesting how a single letter can make a g...It is interesting how a single letter can make a great deal of difference to the meaning of a word, as in the two words - <i>ingenious</i> and <i>ingenuous</i>. <br /><br />Ingenious derives from the Latin word ingenium, which means a natural capacity or talent. It means clever, original or inventive. It is from this word that we get engine. A talented or clever person could be described as ingenious.<br /><br />The word Ingenuous derives from another Latin word, ingenuus, meaning native or freeborn. It means innocent, artless, simple and unsuspecting, perhaps in a childlike way. While once it meant candid, frank or honourable, today, the word often has more negative overtones. It does not, however, mean clever or creative.Nadathur Rajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16044255683086561236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-6983712032712110632014-09-27T16:10:40.580+05:302014-09-27T16:10:40.580+05:30In last months, 2 by Regson at Crossword Centre:

Thanks, all, for yesterday's comments which I just saw. <br /><br />@ Raju: When my quota increased from 1 to 2, I had said that one puzzle in a cycle might be slightly tougher. However, the presence or absence of the theme would not affect a solver when he solves clues. It does not make it tougher. If he gets the theme, then it might help him on his way to make some clues easier, not tougher. What usually makes it tougher is either uncommon words or very ingenious clues. I think no one is crediting me with either of these.Kishorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398234335975124266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-85067378706512279712014-09-27T11:50:30.633+05:302014-09-27T11:50:30.633+05:30With rigorous effort primarily, turned knowledgeab...With rigorous effort primarily, turned knowledgeable (6)<br />'turn' is a verb both t. and i.t.<br />So, knowledgeable (VERSED), with RE, [became] turned (REVERSED). <br />What is the problem here?Chaturvasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284780490945841507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-56160165959249027962014-09-27T11:40:01.175+05:302014-09-27T11:40:01.175+05:3027 With rigorous effort primarily, turned knowledg...27 With rigorous effort primarily, turned knowledgeable (6) VERSED<br /><br />[With R...
