24d park! Misread by setter!
ReplyDelete18d term:sentence
18D-senTEnce? I was struggling (for anno) with tERm.
DeletePaddy,
DeleteYou seem to have found a word synonym for term and picking up the mid-part.
I am afraid the setter has not intended this.
It is as worse as an indirect anagram, in my view, as there can be several synonyms for words. Experts views please?
Doesn't the same go for "imagine closing early" yesterday?
DeleteThis one too
Delete" 28 Throws a crustacean without hesitation after losing temper initially "
Thanks Prasad,
DeleteCan you please give the grid numbers for these clues?
Yesterday was Sunday. I don't remember to have seen it.
28a replicate as noun is copy. Make anind, imu
ReplyDelete+1
Delete1a waited for something better. IMU:
ReplyDeleteProceeds: gain
Poise:gravity:g
A-gain-a-nda*-g-(-g)ain.
I too found no reasonable anno for the above clues.
ReplyDeleteDue to the three clues, well-knit clues like 25AC, 29AC, 15DN got obscured.
26D.. Fabric is fashionable, almost new and old....CHINO meant as Feminine and CHINOS for Masculine. How to interpret....usually CHINOS wear by Gents often.
ReplyDelete" Chino cloth (/ˈtʃiːnoʊ/ CHEE-noh) is a twill fabric
DeleteAs the cloth itself was originally made in China, the trousers were known in Spanish as pantalones chinos (Chinese pants), which became shortened to simply "chinos" in English"
Thanks for the clarifications. acc. to the puzzle chino will be the right one.
DeleteChino also means a fabric- not necessarily a finished product.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.thefreedictionary.com/chino
DeleteThanks Paddy. This puzzles meant Fabric
Mediocre puzzle IMO with too many A = A, One, An,I substitutions
ReplyDelete1A one = A, A=A
10A Crossing is juxtaposition indicator ? A=A
11A A=A
12A One=A
13A A=I
19A Role of 'to' in the beginning?
20A "On" is redundant
29A Microwave= Micro + Wave same roots
5D One = An
7D A = I
8D A=I
24D Error I think
Valid points. With the paper charging its online viewers for accessing the crossword section, they ought to take even greater care and do a much better job editing the puzzles for quality and errors.
DeleteHow do Micro=Very little and Current=Wave have same roots?
DeleteHi Col,
DeleteI mean cluing Microwave as Micro + Wave. It is like cluing Tennis Ball as Tennis + Ball (with ball clued as round object not social gathering) Not very kosher I thought..
I see Ajeesh's point Col.
DeleteMicro is short form of microprocessor, microcomputer or microwave (oven).
I would like to add that to the Setter's credit, the entire phrase of microwave oven is not clued as micro+wave+oven.
DeleteWe should consider the whole clue and not the part to criticise.
