Many thanks

[Dickiedot]

Dannyk13 please explain backfiring

[dannyk13]

23a. Returning= back+ firing is what soldiers do. It is not a very good clue I know, but I submitted it on line and was accepted as correct.

[Dickiedot]

Yes me too ....it's a dreadful clue

[dannyk13]

agreed, but the Telegraph is frequently not very good. This morning I submitted.Ku Klux Klan for the clue secret society and it was shown as incorrect although it fits all intersecting answers.

[Dickiedot]

I submitted the same for Quick Crossword 1d having used a letter hint it accepted Ku Klux Klax obviously a mistake

[dannyk13]

Just had an e-mail. They have realised their mistake and Ku Klux Klan is now accepted.

[Dickiedot]

Oh well done
