Bad, bad, bad. My favourite in this one is 16d. <br />Well, I wonder what Falcon will have to say about the Nat Post and their puzzle printing process?<br />HenryHenryhttp://henryjablonski.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-34373628548504421942017-07-09T17:14:55.847-04:002017-07-09T17:14:55.847-04:00Hello Falcon and friends,

Even though I solved 5d from the checking letters, had to look up the word to be sure. 23a was also new for me. Finally, 1d does not really appear in most dictionaries perse. I await Falcon's wisdom on that one. Quite liked 7d.<br /><br />Thank you for posting.<br />Cheers,<br />MG<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-11221979909933139652017-07-09T15:45:28.961-04:002017-07-09T15:45:28.961-04:00I just noticed that the puzzle in yesterday's ...I just noticed that the puzzle in yesterday's paper was NOT a C&R.

I have a solution for either side of 24d but not one for both sides. 12d was my favourite.Henryhttp://henryjablonski.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-63152887780397675052017-07-09T15:19:02.593-04:002017-07-09T15:19:02.593-04:00Think I got it all.....had to look up 4d.Think I got it all.....had to look up 4d.Tonynoreply@blogger.com
