  5. Incognito is my favourite - and the recent run of his grids is a treat! Unlike some others, this setter doesn’t come up with secondary or tertiary meanings of words (easily done with dictionaries) to make it look hard. Nor does s/he forumulate idiosyncratic clues that can be deciphered only after you’ve guessed the word.
