ReplyDeleteLast one 4D
ReplyDeleteSeconding Ramki's comment about the enjoyable and nice debut by the A's!
ReplyDelete4D- Nutcase? can't get the anno.(except for Lunatic as Def.)
4D: Will get rid : CUT. Denials: NAYS. CUT NAYS becomes NUT CASE as per Rev Spooner.
DeleteWouldn't that would become NUT CAYS
DeleteYeah..Spoonerisms like HP are quite difficult..Let A's clarify
DeleteAs long it sounds the same I suppose it's acceptable. From crosswordunclued:
DeleteLIGHT FIRE ~ FIGHT LIAR. (Strictly speaking it should be Fight Lire.)
4D is NUTCASE (Spoonerism is CUT NAYS - get rid of denials)
