Spectator 1977

Here is a link to Spectator 1977 - Anableps set by Dumpynose.

It can be found on page 51.

It was only when I had finished the puzzle that I realised what a
giveaway the title was.

Enjoy.

Is Dumpynose getting kinder in his old age?

Thank you K for the link. I too only realised about the title on completion! Quite clever!

Yes, I too had missed the significance of the title until after completion - a clever one!

If 16d begins with F, I can't see what fits at 15a ?RFATE. Kayakamina - I still haven't seen the "giveaway" title.

15a ergate - the down clue is gig lamps
Title anablep means 4 eyed
Four of the missing words have 4 "i"s in them and the other 4 are definitons of 4 eyed eg specs, goggles etc
