A few clues in here where the wordplay or structure seem to be a bit too forced, in order to make the idea work (e.g. 19A, 2D). However, the impressive device at 3D is a first-of-a-kind sighting for me; is it unprecedented?

Medium difficulty today, I’d say. No obvious theme aside from maybe 11ac and 1dn! I like Shed normally, and this was no exception – the unknown words all seem to somehow be etymologically possible, if that makes sense.

The standard excellent Quixote puzzle as it heads into the second thousand. Solving time, 25 mins. SW corner by far the hardest for me.

Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of 11 April
Cincinnus gives us another very fine puzzle. Every clue is technically perfect (as usual) and a good few are impressive.
