A test area for 15squared
A very good and interesting puzzle. Some puzzles contain a string of traditional cryptic constructions and feel a bit workmanlike. Alberich puts together a set of traditional cryptic constructions and the result is fresh and entertaining. I can’t put my finger on what makes the difference. No doubt that that explains why I just blog the these puzzles not set them.
I’m stuck on 6 across, any help appreciated. Thanks Alberich.
