ReplyDeleteYes MARMOSET is a monkey and not a cat - I also had the same doubt
Thanks corrected
Delete4d LORDS = testing ground or test ground? Can someone explain?
ReplyDeleteYes, it should be tedt ground. Better still, test venue.
DeleteTesting ground requires a ? Or !.
DeleteBut Arden seems to have done away with such requirements in recent additions.
21A- wordplay in def.?
ReplyDeleteAlso, the apostrophe thst is needed for wp makes it difficult for us to get 'mama' (plural)
Whats the role of admission! (With over as container)
DeleteThe "in" Gets solvers confused but some setters insist its OK. We had this debate sometime back on "in" as link word.
16a whats the role of face!
ReplyDeletePls read 16d
Delete17d role of creates?
ReplyDeleteLot of "Ifs" today.
ReplyDeleteAlso 26a, Indian or Desi could have preceded Governor
ReplyDeleteAlso 10a, when Jesus is being referred to for saviour should there not be Jesus, say? Or will Jesus! Suffice?
Jesus Christ would be more accurate and it has OED

PROPER NOUN [the NOUN]
In the Christian religion, the Saviour is Jesus Christ"
Today’s CW by Arden, I suppose is more for veterans since (a compressed wordplay ) which is similar to Math’s Teacher skipping a few steps during solving (brilliant students are supposed to know) and arrive at solution. Nevertheless, whatever I could crack were really top notch for eg: 7D, 5A etc., . Thanks Arden.
