Saral, isn't it?!
ReplyDelete2D- Struggled more than a moment to get it.
ReplyDeleteCoho was new to me. Halibut being a fush by itself put me off a bit. Needed help.
Foxed by “mainly”! Took it as c and piece of halibut as h and was searching for other letters.
DeleteMostly cook would have been better.
DeleteThank you LV. Had a great time.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot 😊
DeleteNice grid. I could solve quite a few. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThanks. If you try can complete the grid 😊
DeleteAll Saral except 21A for me. Got caught up with helvetica etc. and
ReplyDeletekept looking for something to do with
fonts!
Thank you 😊
DeleteA very good CW given by LV (Saral). Nice and tricky clues and quite refreshing to solve. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSathia
Thanks for solving. Glad you enjoyed 😊
DeleteStruggling with spoonerisms.shuold we attempt last.first get the clue and then annotate. Is there any other way to solve?
ReplyDeleteYes, I too find the Spoonerism clues hard to solve. Unfortunately, there is no easy way out. As you said, we can probably use the crossings and def. to get the solution ( and probably work back to parse the clue) At least, that is what works for me.
DeleteCan you believe, I used to avoid Spoonerism clues. After solving Hypatia's Spoonerisms I started enjoying it.
DeleteSuperb grid! COTD: 21Across
ReplyDeleteThanks . Glad you enjoyed the grid 😊
DeleteHelvetica was probably put in just to keep usvoff track!!
ReplyDeleteOh,oh!! I had not known Helvetica- just googled to learn about the typeface.
Delete😃 I searched google
DeleteLovely Grid LV!
ReplyDeleteGlad I could solve it easily.
Except 21ac. I too struggled with fonts. But finally got it.
My cod is AND SO FORTH.
