DeleteAll good solves. Suggest indicate the def.as well in addition to wordplay.
ReplyDeleteIt's 8.40 and only 1 comment!!
ReplyDeleteI expected it to have been completed by now.
Recent Fridays have seen a disappointing lack of participation from non-regulars, particularly given easy grids.
Delete8 ac gums girl g and from sum
ReplyDelete21 d isogamy anag is my goal
2 d especial anag ale and spice
15 ac dry ice anag cider and y from bit of yeast
32 ac rent r right ward ent
Well solved. As Padmanabhan suggests in a comment above, you can include the definition so that your comment will be a useful reference for other solvers.
DeleteMake it complete-
ReplyDelete8A- G sum?
21D- enu is 7 (is my goal)* is 8
Again no def. Parsing is complete only when def.is given. Follow Col.'s main post.
Should Col. allow regulars to give one solution each from,say,9am?
ReplyDeleteIncognito favours this grid design, which contains nearly the maximum number of black squares (36% or 81/225 squares) but paradoxically also yields a large number of clues (32), many of them short in the 4- or 5- letter range. The breakdown of clues is as follows.
ReplyDelete---
Charade 15
Anagram 12
Double Definition 3
Deletion 1
Reversal 1
---
Of course, some clues contain elements of multiple clue types, such as anagram + charade for certain letters. There were some clues that contained partial acrostic elements.
Overall it was a typically easy experience from Incognito, barring some instances of the directional "in" link-word. I had got 10A incorrect through some strange logic, which landed me in trouble in the top-right corner. I thought 12A was delightful and well-thought out - it is my candidate for clue-of-the-day.
Hats off to you for this analytical study on the utility of squares in the CW grid. Indeed, this must have consumed a good chunk of your time.
DeleteIn fact, similar to every player in the sports arena banking on his or her favourite shot, flick, kick, stance as the trump card, each of the select 'team' of CW setters can boast of own traits. So muck so they are exclusive by their own yardsticks, a-la none of the spotted & striped feline beauties - leopards and tigers are identical in any manner!!!
28a REMAIN. Stay = R~, On Sea = Marine
ReplyDelete11a APPEAR. Seem = A~, Waste paper - Stew = A~
32A RENT. Payment = R~, R + Ward (ENT)
20D. Schemers. Cheers + M(ale) + S(tudents). Plotters = S~
16d. Canal. Tin = can, aluminum = al. channel for water = canal
It so appears the rent was already collected. Amusing.
Delete28A is not correct.
ReplyDelete20D is not complete. The way you have put it, it reads as Cheersms.
24a satchel anagram of lets cash
ReplyDelete29d inns taverns from in N S
19 ac amusing a ming Chinese dynasty and us anagram
19A is not an anagram.
Delete19A funny - AMUSING

ReplyDelete18 DOWN, NEEDIEST, home is nest pass away is die and English is e
ReplyDelete14d. DRILL - DD (Dentist's equipment and standard procedure)
ReplyDelete7d. ROOT - RO(O) T - part of plant
27d. LUTE - Remove note (F) from flute - string instrument
3d: one = I + BEAR, + island= I gives IBERIA, European peninsula
ReplyDelete1d: MUD + little paint = P gives DUMP = discard
14 d: DRILL which is dentists equipment as well as standard procedure
29d: IN + N +S = INNS = taverna
27d: LUTE
Wind instrument = FLUTE - F (Note) Cannot explain note missing from stringed instrument
Note missed from wind instrument = (-F)LUTE =LUTE (string instrument)
DeleteSubstitute for 27d
ReplyDelete17 ac : FILLING = Satisfied
cast = FLING
49 in Roman numerals is IL
you are not supposed to take substitution for a wrong entry.
DeleteAlso, only 3 per solver and not 5.
Sorry. It is 5. My mistake.
Delete4Dn PRECISE - {PER(-son)}*{C{IS)E}
ReplyDelete4d PRECISE: correct

ReplyDelete10A ANON DD (Not identified) (in a short time)
ReplyDeleteGUMS, BORED, FILLING, CLEANING, DRILL, CAVITY, ROOT and CANAL are part of the theme.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it is out of habit of solving Incognito crosswords with one eye shut...I completely missed the theme.
Delete30A inflict knife wounds(def) - STAB
ReplyDeletebats <= flying back
The grid is full. But there are incorrect, partially correct or no annotations for some clues.
22A- Glance- See- G lance (Javelin)
ReplyDelete9A feel thus(def.) - BORED
ReplyDeleteinitially Ordered Rest - OR
In(cont. Ind.) sack - BED
B(OR)ED
28A is unsolved, though answer has been given.
ReplyDelete28 Stay on sea (6)
DeleteClue type = Charade
Solution = REMAIN
Definition = Stay
on = RE (i.e. regarding...)
Sea = MAIN (poetic usage)
While on the subject of dentists and root canal, a joke that I recently read (hopefully not in our blog). Doctors here to excuse me-
ReplyDeleteA patient is sitting in dentist's chair after completing his root canal treatment and the doctor gives him the bill. He looks aghast and says," Doctor, T think there is some mistake here. You had said root canal but you have given me the bill for the Suez canal!!"
😂
DeleteThat too with a container ship stuck in it...
DeleteGood one Paddy! 😂
DeleteSuperb one...
DeleteI did not think of it Kushore!!
DeleteMy wedding gift from my beloved wife, is removal of my wisdom tooth for FREE.
DeleteI thought the gift should be to obliterate ones WISDOM for free. Tooth ellam no issue. She can knock it off.
Delete5D. Col .. The solution adds up. Not the annotation or the definition. Pl check. May be requires an addendum.
ReplyDeleteYes, Appendix looks like the def.
ReplyDeleteInclude should give addend.
include=add; last=end

ReplyDeleteFrom today's Guardian:
ReplyDelete1A Steadies one in front of Britney Spears (8)
BALANCES
Deleteb(ritney) + a (one) + lances (spears)
However here the A is not in front of Britney. So maybe I am wrong. @ Economizer?
DeleteIn is the container. A in b lances.
DeleteOh! So Front of Britney is B. Thank u.
DeleteQuite correct Gowri Ma'am.
DeleteCol 5dn - the definition is appendix
ReplyDeleteInclude - add
Last - end
Part of sum is um
ADDENDUM.
However ur parsing is different?
As usual a breeze in the park.
ReplyDeleteThank u Kishore!
17A. Filling= Satisfying
ReplyDeleteCast= fling
49 Romans= IL
However Why is 49 XLIX and not il?
That is, I can only be placed before V ( e.g. IV, or 4) and X (e.g. IX, or 9). It can't be placed before L, C, D, or M. For example, in Roman numerals, 49 would be XLIX (50 – 10 = 40 and 10 – 1 = 9), not IL. Further, you can only place one smaller numeral in front of a larger one for subtractive purposes. Welcome any gyan on this
