Where did you get the clues? The Print edition gives last weeks clues
ReplyDeleteYou know the answer to that
DeleteActually I don't.
DeleteThe clues can be had from Everyman's CW No. 3619 that appeared in the Guardian on 14th Feb 2016.
DeleteLucky guys who got the right crossword in the print ed this morning. We had last week's clues with a different grid to confuse us even more!

ReplyDeleteAll of us got only last week's clues. We have to go to Guardian cryptic and get 3619 as suggested by MB since last week's was 3618. Requires some digging. Col. is wise enough not to follow TH except for getting the no. of CW- thankfully TH follows it in sequence. Some solace!
ReplyDeleteToday's puzzle is disastrous.
ReplyDeleteNot only the clues but even the fill-in grid is terrible.
The grid is totally misleading.
The glitches of the past few week-day crosswords look small in comparison.
Pre-empting someone :-)
DeleteCV, are you assisting Everyman?
DeleteEveryman sets the puzzles and I muck them up.

ReplyDeleteIt is all real fun. Maybe, fault finders may not visit on Sunday?
