Apologies. The clues / answers I had mentioned were in another crossword website, not FifteenSquared.net.

Thanks for the info. I understand about the prize puzzles, but I did find enough hints (and several answers to clues I had already solved) in the comments, and I don’t see what can be done to prevent people from giving away the game, other than some very strict policing.

Cheers!

What is not permitted (again happy to be corrected) is any reference to prize puzzles before the closing date for entries has passed.

Got enough clues from the comments to solve the crossword easily.

I’m from India and travelling on work to the UK. The Guardian crosswords are a real treat for me and it’s a special thrill to try and solve them “live”. I’ll definitely be back to this site!

One thing, though. I couldn’t find the link to register on the site for comments – hope this is the right place.

Cheers!

We get the Guardian Crossword via our “Courier Mail” which I have delivered every morning for the main purpose of doing this crossword. Sometimes I solve the crossword over breakfast; sometimes it isn’t finished until I return from work; and sometimes I have to visit this site for assistance with solving or to find out WHY a particular answer is correct.

Unfortunately, the “Courier Mail” is months behind in publishing the crosswords, and also it is pot luck whether difficult ones are published on weekdays or Saturdays (when there would be more time to research when necessary).

I just wanted you all to know that your solving and comments are appreciated on this side of the world. Keep up the good work.

If you add a comment to a post that is more than a few days old it will be seen by myself, the author of the post, who will receive a copy of the comment by email, and by everyone who subscribes to the RSS feed.

The Guardian Cryptic appears in The Canberra Times about a fortnight late (today’s, for example, is 25141) and I don’t go to the blog till I have finished it.

No-one (unless I missed it) questioned Eileen’s comment (at 10) which read:
“Re 1dn: I don’t think this is a very good clue. To make proper sense, it ought to read ‘if to follows’, i.e. if ‘to’ follows ‘hove’ it means ‘stopped’.”

Araucaria’s clue was “If to follow, stopped in Sussex”. Is that an erroneous, rather than merely unfashionable, use of of the subjunctive mood?

It really does significantly diminish the pleasure I can derive from a particular crossword if the game has been given away like this!
