Flying High Again

· By Melanie Branton · Published 2025-04-15T07:16:05.901Z

Constructor's Note
The letter combo ANT and occasionally BEE or WASP is often clued by WORKER. WASP can also be SOLDIER. Any insect can be a SIX-FOOTER and anything whatsoever that has the power of flight can be a FLYER, a WINGER or is UP IN THE AIR. If you enjoy my crosswords, you'll LOVE the Cryptic Mystic's fantastic YouTube channel, which has been kind enough to feature a couple of my crosswords and is THE best resource for cryptic beginners: https://www.youtube.com/@The_Cryptic_Mystic

        Awesome fun :) 1a and 2d are standouts.
        A note: 3d is easily solvable with the constructor's note at the start, but it breaks one of the Ximenean rules, being "no indirect anagrams." Less of an issue with the note at the start, but I thought worth bringing up :)
