Expected there to a nina not a pangram although with q j and z I should have seen that. Anyway thanks Dac.

It’s a nice fit = it’s an exact/precise fit.

Caffeine at the ready but found it a relative doddle. About the same degree of difficulty as this mornings Arachne in the Ugnadiar.

Like K’s D I baulked at Nice/Exact but there it is in Chambers. ‘Done with care and exactness’

That apart, Dac is always reliable. So it was here.

8dn was the smiley moment and 18ac was an elegant surface. Just a couple of queries if someone could help – if in 15dn the definition is ‘ill-fitting’ (an adjective), how can the answer be INAPTNESS (a noun)? And in 6dn, how is EXACT a synonym for ‘nice’?

Thanks for blogging, nms.
