DeleteLiked the rheostat at 8D as well- for old times sake.
Three comment,s are feeling lonely.Hence my fourth ! Lightning has lightened my mood. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI believe that the reason for the small number of comments over the last three/four days is that the puzzles were quick solves, not challenging at all. A few easy clues to get one going are always welcome but it has been otherwise this week.

DeleteThe clues and solutions were so smooth and natural (nothing contrived) that I did not notice the pangram until I saw it in the blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lightning for the enjoyable CW.

It could be heat+her
DeleteIt may be hot=heat
Her=her.
Def=common Eurasian wasteland
BTW why are you looking for unannotated clues in old blogs?
DeleteOf late, that has become my stress buster. And refill plate for gridman/incognito/lightning days.
DeleteWhat does that mean?
DeleteLike I finished today's Crossy now and I have another 30min before sleep. So I checkout old unsolved ones. Its usually so with gridman/incognito.
