DeleteExcellent pangram grid! Thank you Gussalufz.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteExcellent sathia. I solved only M-O-R-F . tried a lot . only few tough ones. rest I could manage. Thank you Col. sir ,for the IXL. we too feel the exam version. But compare to yesterday, this grid moderate level.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't clearly see how IT gets reversed and goes in your anno.
ReplyDeleteEM dash
My intended anno was indeed what Sree Sree posted, with "space" = EM.
ReplyDelete9 Occasionally produce books on Space—it starts to matter once
Romance fails to get up (4,4,2,4)
FROM TIME TO TIME.
(EMIT {produce} OT {books = Old Testament} + {on} EM {space} IT
M(-atter) O(-nce) R(-omance) F(-ails) {starts to ...}) << {... to get up}.
This one was not really conducive to on-stage solving :-), but Shashwat got it!
Great clue! But I just biffed it. Didn't even make an attempt to anno it. The definition and anno were so helpful that I am sure Shashwat also had biffed it during the on stage solving.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable puzzle. Thanks Guzzalufz.
Read enu instead of anno
ReplyDeleteI too got it from the starts/up. Once "from" was in, the answer just clicked. Rest was reworking.
