Enigmatic Variations N0 1610 By Shark

Matakari | 20:19 Sun 01st Oct 2023 | Crosswords

9 Answers

Good evening, started off with high hopes, but then Shark stopped me in some choppy waters! Help with the following would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

1a Travelling west, Irish girl twice leads to God ( 6 ) : ?N????
15a Empress’s drum ( 7 ) : ?A??L?O
29a Yankee’s supply of money includes siver penny once for toy ( 7, 2 words ) : ???DO??
34a Contralto reliant on musical instrument ( 8 ) : ????L???

4d Several Greek characters looking up out of water ( 6 ) : ?UP???
22d American meat producer to change course around Alabama ( 6 ) : ???L??
23d In this, Oxbridge ---s generally have above-average h----and w ---- ( 5 ) : ???H?

Preamble: The two unclued ADVERSARIES must be changed to the phrase uttered when one caught sight of the other (creating real-word crossing entries). Single-letter clashes occur in five cells; the letters to be kept spell out who actually spoke these words. Solvers must highlight six cells in a straight line offering (overlapping) four-word confirmation of the sighting. Chambers Dictionary (2016) is recommended.

Many thanks, NACW! I've temporarily put aside Shark and am having a look at Chalicea who is very Matakari-friendly. My grid for this one is almost complete and I'm seeking some help for a few clues on a new thread.

I want 23 to be eights but theres the wrong number of dashes for word after Oxford

Neveracrossword

Bobbin, Eight is the answer for 23 D - the clue gives (5) and also has an 's' after the ----. The dashes in the printed clue were very small!

bobbinwales

thanks... yes meant eight (eights, height, weight)

34... your L should be an I, maybe you misread your handwriting??
