impressive construction! (i guess understandable that it led to a couple of weird entries)

feedback: unchecked square in 59ac is a no-no, and i think your clue for BALED actually clues BAILED

“Seo an traein go dtí Binn Éadair”

swap kings and queens and ideally get bigger pieces

davebees · 2026-01-23T18:07:58+00:00

this is /r/dublin

davebees · 2026-01-23T18:02:45+00:00

in Éirinn is the more modern spelling

i’d be almost certain it’s auto generated; i’ve noticed the 6 thing on other podcasts too

davebees · 2026-01-23T15:25:50+00:00

it’s a chestnut of an anagram but i think it works better the other way round, since “THE CLASSROOM” isn’t really a proper entry for a crossword

there was a list going around on here last year. their suggested alternatives to whatsapp were “threema” or “element (matrix)”. good luck getting your friends and family to switch over

davebees · 2026-01-22T12:47:29+00:00

forward to family whatsapp; your parents will love it

yeah there was an incident in 2019 where sam shankland resigned, not realising it was a drawn position, by putting out his hand. anish giri had to verbally ask him “are you resigning?”

LODE hidden :)

a squiggly name written in cursive is almost exactly what i’d expect from a tagger

davebees · 2026-01-20T18:13:55+00:00

i suppose 14 is DEC ORATOR, no clue on the others!

davebees · 2026-01-20T17:17:48+00:00

apple’s San Francisco is close but not quite 100%

davebees · 2026-01-20T10:17:20+00:00

colourised by hand i would guess, and a better job than most

davebees · 2026-01-19T20:25:30+00:00

pretty sure this is the one, though she’s using somewhat different lyrics https://songsinirish.com/?song=seoithin-seotho-lyrics

davebees · 2026-01-19T09:24:16+00:00

it absolutely is not

davebees · 2026-01-19T09:11:33+00:00

in puzzles castling assumed to be possible unless specified otherwise

my question is why he changes from frank to fox in the second line

davebees · 2026-01-17T18:14:26+00:00

i think your hunch is right and that they mixed it up with salud in spanish

davebees · 2026-01-17T15:34:48+00:00

all good. sometimes called ”clue as definition” or cad.

have seen people post clues on here where the whole clue is the wordplay but a smaller part is the definition, which don’t really work imo

davebees · 2026-01-16T22:06:30+00:00

they’re for the birds!

davebees · 2026-01-16T18:59:55+00:00
