Andrew, it may be worth mentioning that Genius 78 is now available with special instructions. If, like me, you downloaded it on Monday you may have been surprised to see that there were no special instructions. Without them, it’s impossible to solve. Even with them, it’s going to be tough!

Yes, thanks. I started on it, but ground to a halt. I can see why now!

Anyone who, like me, printed out the December Genius puzzle yesterday might like to know that some special instructions have now been added.

The answer I provided was ONONDAGA — (ON x 2 + D + AGA, as analysed above). I’m not sure how anyone gets the alternative. Maybe someone else could sort this out with The Guardian! I can’t track down the answer page and there’s no report from the editor yet. Night all!

Thanks Andrew but I have a slight disagreement about 6d. If you click on the puzzle from the Guardian website, the answer is given as MNMNMAYA which is what I put.
