High Christine,

I absolutely love the Acrostic. Would love a whole book of those.
The concept cross is OK but for me just OK.

I was in the Royal Navy in WWII and the words at the water dispenser was “What’s the Buzz? Meaning what’s the latest rumour. I must tell you I was responsible for the Pacific wars end. I had just finished the war in Europe and I was sent out far east to take part in the Pacific war. Emperor Hirohito heard I was on the way and said we may as well pack it in Bob Cralke is on his way out here. Or so the rumour goes
Love My Lovatts

Hi Ann
Thanks for pointing out that typo in the Judge’s column in BIG Crossword. Sorry that one slipped by us. We will have to be more careful. Regards, Judie

On the Judge Sums Up page, in the 3rd column, 2nd paragraph.
There is a comment on the Bigcash crossword, 133ac ‘Broad pedal’. The answer should have been TREADLE not TREDDLE
The judge has written TEADLE instead of TREADLE

Hope this is the right place to put this gremlin as I couldn’t find anywhere else to put it.

G’day Jack

Here’s Wikipedia’s reference to Castor Oyl who was Olive Oyl’s older brother: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castor_Oyl . Should clear things up.

Re: The Gremlin in Colossus 136: Beast 1

Your correspondent has a Gremlin in her own remarks. It should be the clue at
69 DOWN (not across) refers back to 56 across but it should read down.

Colossus No, 136. Baffler.
Popeye’s girlfriend was Olive Oyl, not Castor Oyl.

Hi Barbara,
This is a tricky one, but luckily you can get the answer by solving all the down clues. The clue is Œ which is a ligature of O and E. You are looking for a word that Œ is sometimes called in English runology. Good luck and happy puzzling! Christine

I haven’t tried addoku Shapeshifter 2 but no. 1 is certainly impossible. I was going to say the solution doesn’t fit the shapes, but you beat me to it.

I can confirm there is no Gremlin, AJ. You will have to rethink your answer for the S African antelope. You have the first and last letter correct. Good luck!
