The NW zipped in, as you said.

Knowing nothing of HEBRIDES, I tried ANTILLES but gave it up easily thereafter. All four of the 15-letter clues were gettable for me, so it was a good day - the first I've had all week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-21815026236798376612017-04-22T11:34:48.111-04:002017-04-22T11:34:48.111-04:0028:36

I was slowed down by the NE, but other than that I made pretty good time, getting a toehold in the SE and moving clockwise around the grid (except that I finished the west before the NE). SEXTAPE is great, and with CAREWORN I think of the "wizard" speaking with Dorothy just prior to her running home before the tornado as he describes Aunt Em's face. ZANILY is excellent, but AXILLA is gross, right Colum? Too bad that CHEROKEE is clued as a product. BITEME is fantastic, but how about that SW, where we have URICH, EDIEFALCO and RICKSPRINGFIELD (crossing PREPPY) all side-by-side? Unusual, isn't it?Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
