SUBSCRIPTION CROSSWORD - JULY GUEST PUZZLE:
Clues are of four types; 1. Printer's Devilry (PD) - Each clue is
a passage from which the printer has removed a hidden answer, closing the
gap, taking liberties perhaps, with punctuation and spacing, but not disturbing
the order of the remaining letters. Example: "When Custos outdoes Hereward
the Waiter with a good clue" (4) Answers SEAT - "When Custos eats out, does
he reward the waiter with a good clue?" Each passage, when complete, makes
sense. 2. Misprints (M) - One letter is misprinted in the definition part
of each clue. 3. Definition and Letter-mixture (DLM) - Each clue (to a suitable
present) includes a definition (one word or more) and a mixture of the letters
of the required answer, beginning with the beginning or ending with the end
of a word in the clue. 4. Right and Left (RL) - Each clue
is really two normal clues which stand side by side without overlapping,
one for the left-hand, the other for the right-hand space: either may be
clued first.
The nine unclued words of the perimeter (starting at square No 25 and reading
clockwise) followed by 25 across (2 words) should be added to the title of
the puzzle. Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary is recommended.
