Listener Crossword 4099: Double Devilry by Pointer

Zabadak | 17:37 Fri 13th Aug 2010 | Crosswords

89 Answers

A nice challenge and a clever construction, but as you can see, a quick finish. I'm interested to know whether others see what to do before or after discerning the 10 letter word. Cheers to Pointer, and now to find something else to do over the weekend.

started last weekend, then went over to England for a couple of days, so now back to it ... still only got 17/20 clues ... unlike others who disapprove of nudging, I need a push now .... heist ? .... nestle ? ... (I fear that one or two of my 17 may already be wrong, but all seem good to me but they don't fit together neatly either) ....

OMG, how dim am I ? PDM big time ... all over in a flash (of inspiration ?) ...no need for helping hints ... indeed one of my initial answers was wrong .... (am I allowed to say which ?) ... shame upon me for seeking aid ... !!

Got it shortly after my last posting. I think I can now reveal that my wrong 10 letter word was 'switchable', but I was looking at the wrong letters at the time! Even so, it didn't even match with the letters I thought I was looking at so a good thing that I checked!

to add to list of possible wrong answers, mine was SCAPUS ....

Also very late starting. Got to 17 and stuck, after several abortive attempts at grid fill. Then saw what was staring me in the face and finished in short order, with a slight hitch from misinterpreting 'unchecked letter in an entry row' even though I was sure I knew the 10 letter word. However I confess to a feeling somewhere between severe indigestion and losing the will to live when I was about two thirds of the way through. I thought the problem was that although there was a mini PDM for each clue, there was no feeling of steady progress that comes with the usual Listener, when the more you do the easier it (generally) gets....

This household is divided. Just starting this a week late. G is baking a loaf instead of doing a "crossword" with no definitions, wordplay etc. I has no rooted objection to PDs. I guess wrong answers shouldn't be given away, but the tip helped, having made the same error. Teuchter2's basking in Aberdeen FC's (brief?) glory is shared in this household.
