SHEILA is also nice, but SINEW not so much. I also enjoyed HEFTS (4D Weighs, in a way). The "D" of UNODOS/TRES was my final entry; excellent cluing, IMO. As to Colum's minitheme suggestion, it's too bad that instead of FEMININE, we couldn't have "fembots" in there.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-17715457864996773602017-06-09T22:23:02.482-04:002017-06-09T22:23:02.482-04:0014:32 (FWOE) which was a typo.

Ironically speaking...<br /><br />You missed the minitheme of SHAGUAR and DREVIL! My favorite is YOUROTHERLEFT, by far. Excellent stuff. Too bad AWAYONHOLIDAY is so bland.<br /><br />Fun puzzle.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
