ReplyDeleteKKR - Usually we had better avoid using a gridfill (solution word in grid) in ay of the clues in the puzzle. I think that rule has been breached here/
ReplyDeleteSir,

And I guess you are talking about bingo here?
DeleteOf course.

DeleteIt is not about this clue, Paddy. There is one more clue elsewhere which contained the solution word there. He felt it was revealing.
DeleteYes, I get it. Bingo (solution word) is used as part of clue in 10A.
DeleteI have to learn a lot!
Actually, I thought of giving 24! [the clue number] in 10AC. But forgot in the process.
