Sree Sree 30 July 2023 at 14:05 Indirect anagram is absolutely no-no in any cryptics. Standard abbreviation, not synonyms, leading to unambiguious abbr are accepted. Ambiguios single letters are tolerated. Like side could mean r/l/s etc. Otherwise the anagram fodder need to be plainly visible in the clue.

VRS, it was a really nice grid with tight charades and challenging deletion clues. 21A was a good reversal-type clue. I'd made some notes on nitpicks but inadvertently deleted them. Overall a good puzzle using simple language to conceal cryptic devices, a grid which could give some THC setters competition.

"Unambigious" Abbr. Which means a non-crossword reader should also know. Husband H is a sectorial abbr.
DeleteDoes 'Setter perhaps' improve it anyway?
