Deletestruggled with 1D & 6D rest all solved......well grid by Incognito. 28A,14,17 are my favorites. Thanks to Incognito and col.sir
ReplyDeleteIncognito 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.
