Sunday PUZZLE: 19th,FEB'\\Just solved this .
ReplyDelete.6 down and 8 down were tricky ones, so was 12 across.
No wonder, many solvers have refrained from commenting.
16down- SWINGERS was a good one. CV and Kishore: I came across a word CANDAUILISM ( a neo-greek word?) in one of the articles I read recently and surprisingly, this was not traced in either the OED or the Chambers. I then tried in the ubiquitous and all-knowing Google- Uncle and lo and behold, I did find an entire article on the latest in , ahem- permitted in these columns ? wife-swapping, Swingers etc. Now , one has to be careful in using the word SWINGERS in the social circles? Any comments?
