Enigmatic Variations 1599 - Full Steam Ahead- By X-Type

Matakari | 09:30 Mon 17th Jul 2023 | Crosswords

13 Answers

Good morning, my wish has been satisfied with this Matakari-friendly EV 1599.
It was quite mild, interesting, and enjoyable for me. I filled the grid in record
time, entering the given letters in the unchecked cells, but am not sure how
or where to draw the line in response to the message. Any help would be
appreciated. Many thanks in advance!

(The perimeter message must be completed ( starting from the top left ) using the letters of SEEMED SLOW FOR CROWD in the unchecked cells. Solvers must draw a line/arrow in response to this message ( taken at time of publication) regarding something going FULL STEAM AHEAD. )

Have you worked out what the perimeter message says?

If yes then google the world record for that thing. and draw an arrow in the centre pointing to that speed!

Are those letters defintely all there is/// I was thinking there may be a extra R

JJ109

Bobbin - no - these are just for the blank squares where there are no across or down clues, altogether the phrase consists of 48 letters

bobbinwales

Thanks... i;m guessing the words WORLD SPEED RECORD to be in there

JJ109

You would be correct!

Many thanks, JJ109! I am assuming that the letters SEEMED SLOW FOR CROWD must be entered in chronological sequence in the blank cells around the perimeter, and then a message to be worked out from all the letters. This looks like another puzzle in itself. Is this the correct approach?

Neveracrossword

Matakari, NOT chronological sequence, just use the letters to fill in the gaps, forming words, making a statement.

Many thanks, NACW, that looks like a nice little exercise which I should enjoy.

Thanks, Matakari. I'm so, so relieved that this recommendation has been such a success.

Grateful, NACW, I had a great time speeding through this part
of the puzzle. Do you have a link for this week's Azed? I would
like to have a crack at it! It might very well be Matakari-friendly,
too. Thanks in advance!

Neveracrossword

Matakari, the Azed puzzle is easily accessed through the usual Guardian website (probably where you get the Genius?).

That EV was 'gentle' in the extreme.

Got it, thanks, NACW!

Matakari, if you're looking in... today's Spectator puzzle is an absolute gem!
