EV1037 - Men Are Fools by Won

This puzzle is a real challenge and I think it might just defeat me despite having had a full grid for some time. I'm just not getting how to replace the 10 + 2 letters at all. Perhaps a break might do the trick. I hope others are having better luck. Nevertheless I am enjoying the challenge and it's better than a puzzle being too easy.

The gridfill was certainly enjoyable. I'm not sure I've seen the connection between the across extras and the down misprints used before.

As far as the theme and the 2 extra letters, there is really only one "elsewhere" where they can be applied to "clarify the theme". All in all an excellent puzzle; certainly more interesting and challenging than this week's Listener.

As so often happens the penny finally dropped after a good night's sleep making this a very enjoyable puzzle. Thanks Won.

I have successfully cpmpleted this puzzle but would be delighted if someone can explain the solution to 23 down. I hope my answer (2,4) is correct, but I am flummoxed how to arrive at it from the given clue. I have the letters
A-EA-E so any other suggestion would be much appreciated.

A very clever puzzle by Wan.

Hello all,
Shoni70, you should have 3-3, it is a down clue that requires a replacement letter. If you were employed you would have been a member of that "tax system"! You may even have had 2 jobs!
I struggled with grid filling, especially the SW sector! It didn't help when I hadn't actually found all the letters that needed to be replaced, but symmetry helped!

Well I think I have the answer, but not totally sure. Tricky and enjoyable puzzle. Thanks wan.

Shoni70

Thank you so much Doc HH for your explanation . I was very cross with myself for missing the tax system, but I had gone off on a completely wrong track. Keep up the good work and thanks again for the help.

I would like to thank you all for the very kind comments. Hearing that regular solvers have enjoyed the puzzle is the ultimate reward.

Best wishes, Wan

Wan, good to hear from you on the site. I am now confident that all hangs together well as I have resolved the final step of what to do with the last two letters. Thanks again and hopefully we will see more from you! Andrew
