      Spelling should be UPANISHAD

      Delete
    2. AJ3 April 2022 at 11:23

      Yes. But only UPANISAD is possible with the given letters, of course, if setter had meant Ishopanishad.

    4. Deepak Gopinath3 April 2022 at 13:34

      Chambers doesn't give this alternate spelling. Moreover it's an Indian word and is pronounced as UPANISHAD so I don't think UPANISAD is acceptable

    5. sree_sree3 April 2022 at 15:02

      Noted Col. Will check more closely on Indian words.

      I actually had
      Do=go
      Go=Do (<back)
      as anno

      But was advised it was convoluted.
      So changed it a bit.

    Wrong

  21. Padmanabhan3 April 2022 at 13:31

    17A- On return Do=Od
    Go back indicates Go goes to front.
    Good
    For
    Bond's boss=M
    Go od for m=> Goodform meaning protocol,etiquette.
    But a doubt - it is given as Good form (4,4) and not as a sinle 8 letter word in Free Dic. I have not checked Chambers.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Padmanabhan3 April 2022 at 13:31

    Spell check also corrects as Good Form.

    Thanks a lot Col for Publishing the Puzzle.
    Thanks all for taking time and Solving.

    Learnt on Indian word usage in crosswords need more attention.

    A huge thanks to Vasant for greeting me started. KKR for taking time out and reviewing.

    MB and Paddy for pre-solving.

    (Have a train to catch, hopefully the remaining one gets solved).
