Grid is completed. Thanks all for participating and solving. Would be happy to receive any feedback from solvers/setters with respect to quality of clues/wordplay and areas of improvement :)
ReplyDeleteGood one, thoroughly enjoyed!
Deletenice and smooth solve. Some very nice clues in the 4 corners.
DeleteCouple of comments - there are two entries 13A and 25A with only middle letter checked, i believe from feedback on a grid of mine that this is not kosher. Doesn't "bit of" as selection indicator generally takes first letter only? Here it is applied differently. please check on this. thanks
+1 on "bit of"
DeleteApologies on 2d. It was an oversight from my end.. On the grid, I will be careful from next time
DeleteThanks for a very nice grid, Driver
DeleteLooks to be open type of grid. No.of clues are more than normal.]
ReplyDeleteGood clues all around. Thank you.
Can you please clarify 25A?
ReplyDeleteOh! Got it . A good one again.
ReplyDeleteLeg is Gel (set) back
Absolutely fine and very ineresting grid by Driver.
ReplyDeleteAs many as 8 four letter words and 2 three letter words have taken away a lot of black squares,thus increasing the no.of clues. More the merrier for us,solvers
ReplyDeleteNice grid. Enjoyed solving.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the special Abhishek
ReplyDeleteA small doubt. In 6dn - tick is mark what os 10A there?
ReplyDeleteAlso for MANIA - with is the containment indicator? It should be without?
Just my doubts.
Otherwise nice enjoyable grid. Thanx.
The infamous "with".(in 2d too) Which is why I haven't done the crossy. Otherwise seems a good crossy going by the responses here.
DeleteYes. Agreed in 2d too. With feels more like a conjunction - a+b rather than b inside a. In my understanding.
ReplyDeleteIt's ASU in trees.
