22 Grant right inside to unearth an element (5) BO(R)ON
ReplyDeleteAD
ReplyDeleteI suggest you avoid the use of the ampersand in clues.
It is OK in company names and private notes but not in sentences in published prose.
Point taken Sir. Will adhere to it.

In taxonomic rank, life is first and species is last . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species
DeleteThe grid is symmetric.
ReplyDeleteHowever, a cursory glance suggests as if it is not - because of the long series of blocks on the right side.
If we have a three-letter slot in the middle of middle column (column 8), it would look great.
Col should have no prob in accepting three-letter slots.
I have no problem with three-letter slots. If I'm not mistaken Doppleganger had used a grid with quite a few of three-letter words
ReplyDelete9 Chant can release atman trapped in life (6) Mantra

That finishes the grid. Thanks folks for taking time to solve it . Bye for now. :)

CV Sir, your feedback and coaching is very valuable to all of us. Thanks to you too.
My pleasure.
