December BIG Crossword - Gremlin

 The Judge Sums Up p29

Our Judge is guilty of a typo! HARI-KIRI should of course read HARA-KIRI or perhaps HARI-KARI, from the Japanese for ‘belly cutting’.

I assure you that our judges didn’t get this wrong in the awarding of prizes, it was simply an unspotted error in the Judge’s column. Apologies for any confusion.

Thanks to Phillip Williams, of Eagleby, Qld.

Page 10  - Wheel Words competition

There is no gremlin in this puzzle. The answer is a compound word and so if you look for the two parts you will find it. Some dictionaries have this only listed as one word  but others have it as one word. Sorry for any confusion.
