The Hindu online version has goofed up again. The online version has CW No 11934!! Plus another change in the layout of the paper!!
I wonder if this is Gridman as it is a new grid, and unlike him to have so many errors!

Thanks Sandhya, missed that one again
DeleteIt is surprising to see that the person who is uploading the CWs does not know that 11933 comes after 11932!!
ReplyDeletereturns - re-turns - undergoes anagram
ReplyDelete(actually a samaalification)
A s(a)mall matter between friends
DeleteYou may be one.. as definition for addict is a bit stretched ? Watssay 😏
ReplyDeleteWe are solving daily..we are addicts..think def is ok
DeleteWe also breathe and do a lot of styff everyday.. regularity does not imply addiction...
DeleteOne who solves THC once every week and blogs isn't an addict?
ReplyDeleteOne who solves and blogs not only in time but also on time isn't an addict?
One who solves every day even if one gets only a few answers isn't an addict?
The last category is an addict, since I am one of that.
ReplyDeleteWhat about setters?
GM@ 8.58- So 11933 is def. not him. But who?
ReplyDeleteI happily solved 11834 of Gridman and looked at the print version just now and was in for a shock until I opened the blog. TH speaks a lot today on its front page about new models, colours, presentation etc., but then why the goof up?
11A:Remembered Hagar The Horrible, the viking warrior, whose adventures I used to read in Sunday Review of TOI eons ago..dont know if it still appears
ReplyDeleteIt comes now in Metro Plus of The Hindu
DeleteI was wondering what happened to 11933!
ReplyDelete11933 is now available in the interactive version, they uploaded it around 10 AM or so
DeleteIt has been published in the print edition- at least in Chennai (It is by Gridman). I am now wondering if we will get 11944 in the print edition tomorrow or they will jump over to 11945.
