Posted by shuchi on 10th July 2009
Straightforward puzzle today. Some of the wordplay uses lesser-known meanings of familiar words (such as to=shut, out=seawards), but nothing very obscure or controversial.

Nothing too troublesome in this one, with quite a few easy anagrams to get me started. One or two quibbles about meanings noted below.

Inquisitor 131 – Feat by Hypnos
Posted by petebiddlecombe on 10th July 2009
Solving time: about 90 minutes
This puzzle’s thematic material was provided by both extra and missing letters in wordplay, and two grid entries – one unclued, one clued without definition. The letters missing in wordplay were to be highlighted in the grid (14 letter in 19 clues), showing who carried out the feat. Their real name and two relevant locations were provided by the extra letters.
