ReplyDeleteA cruciverbalist is in no DILEMMA.
ReplyDeleteHe knows that there is no AGE LIMIT for either solving or setting a crossword.
Some may like to solve in TSUNAMI speed with TIMERS. Even EGG TIMERS to check their progress in three minutes. Perhaps such a person would become a hero or HEROINE in a forthcoming IXL. Who knows?
One in NEW YORK may LIE DOWN, DECELERATE and take it easy. To each his own way.
Saw a crossword in a PERIODICAL set by a person whose PSEUDONYM is Paddy.
Paddy? I felt a bit UNSETTLED. Paddy. Paddy.
Oh! Now it is LOUD and clear. It is our own dear PADDY.

ReplyDelete9A is open for anyone to solve

ReplyDeleteIt is a Cryptic def. Nuclear reactor where cracking of metals take place.. A breed of horse cannot be called a Breeder, can it?
DeleteI thght it ref to power plants.
DeleteAll power plants are ref as work horses as in they drive the industry output.
That is the thing about a CD, it is always open to interpretation..
DeleteI meant it as Breeder reactor (which cracks meatal/atom) may not be a horse.
