ANGELICA (ANALGESIC-S)*
ReplyDeleteC: CASSETTE {TEST+CASE}*
ReplyDeleteGenerally enum will be given I think for alphabetical Jigsaw puzzle
ReplyDeleteYes, but level of difficulty is increased here
DeleteI disagree. Enum should be given when the solver has no crossings and will have to solve all clues cold before inserting them in the grid.
DeleteAnd if an acrosslite ver is given, doesn't it let the solver the number of letters by looking at the sot?
The AcrossLite version has no clues
DeleteEven if Enums were given the solver will still have to cold solve before trying to fit the words into the grid
DeleteVasi Sir,
DeleteIt is not the first time that the clues are given without enu.
It is for the solvers to decide whether it is a doable puzzle or not. Looking at the way the clues are solved, I don't think it will be difficult for them to place the solutions in the grid. Solving teasing grids here and elsewhere is not new to many of us here.
Best of luck to them.

ReplyDeleteCol, the interactive grid is not matching with what I have prepared and sent to you. I think it is better to ignore it.

ReplyDeleteG GREENSKEEPER (DD)
ReplyDeleteG-anno : Greens(inexperienced)+keeper(supervisor)
DeleteIt is not intended as DD but CD
DeleteNot sure how this 12 letter word is going to fit in the grid where the largest word would have only 11 letters.
DeleteDNM Rao's anno has extra letter S, which I failed to notice. Apologies.
DeleteIt is GREENKEEPER
Both spellings are used. I thought Greens goes well with inexperienced. Didn't count squares.
DeleteYou are right. But Green=Inexperienced. So, that only will fit.
DeleteT TELEVISING (live test signal -last)*
ReplyDeleteIf the given answer for G is correct, where it can be accommodated? Max enu is 11 only, I suppose.

Congrats again and thanks
Thanks Col and THCC for giving me another opportunity.
I always took the two to be synonyms!
ReplyDeleteThere is a difference between company and manager!
DeleteThank you KKR
ReplyDeleteMissed all the fun. Just filled out the acrosslite version.
ReplyDeleteThis had to happen on the day when I was out! Did you hear me Yell out?
I did.
DeleteWe missed you Paddy
ReplyDelete+1
DeleteI solved many clues but did not post any answers. You would have noticed that for my solutiions here I chose the hard letters like X,Z etc.
ReplyDeleteI wished to post ans for Y.
Though I had YELL, I could not get the ans as the four-letter YELL and anno didn't gel. If the enum had been given as 4,3 the ans would have occurred to me at once.
My considered opinion is the clues must have enums.
Thank you Sir, will keep it in mind in my next, if any.
