If it's any help to you I get 7a noDs, 9a saiL, 17a sPry, 27a stAn, 30a pYre, and 16d daRed

8a ogLed, 1a gImmiCk, 29a skIn

gives you I C D L L P R A I Y

do you have to email all the answers or rearrange the highlighted squares?

rrickyuk · 9 January 2008 at 9:36PM

That - sort of - makes Piccadilly, which is good enough for me as the answer!

Thanks for that - I'll eventually get round to doing it myself and double-check.

Oh, and yes - you have to rearrange the letters to make an area of London.

Bit weird, though, cos in the paper I can only see 8 shaded squares - are there 10 in the pdf version online?

NOSONDDU · 9 January 2008 at 9:48PM

yes there are ten highlighted squares. do you want all the answers?

rrickyuk · 9 January 2008 at 10:07PM

Aha! So they made a mistake in the paper?

It's up to you - I'll do the one in the paper and see what that brings up.

Thanks again, NOSONDDU.:D

I've just realised that your answers are from the December crossword, so they must not have updated the pdf file. I'll email them to let them know. I wondered what was going on!

rrickyuk · 10 January 2008 at 5:35PM

They haven't replied to my email yet.

You are supposed to rearrange the letters.

NOSONDDU · 10 January 2008 at 5:44PM

I did all that for nothing :mad:

good job I like crosswords

NOSONDDU · 10 January 2008 at 5:49PM

do you want to list the clues? tell me the size of the grid and black/gaps of the first line and I'll try and make up the grid on paper. Or just say what you're stuck on - we'll get there.
