- What a workout! Great work with lots of sparkly answers. Was not familiar with Krasinski or Tarkovsky but once I figured out the -SKY and -SKI parts, everything else fell into place.Still having trouble figuring out the wordplay for KETTLEDRUM26AIt might make noise when banged and surrounded by police spirit (10)[----------] - how do you parse that clue? I figure "spirit" = RUM?
- Hector 47:58 · 2023-02-23T01:38:09.581ZTough indeed! Kettling is a tactic used by police to try to suppress peaceful demonstrations by corralling protesters and refusing to let them go (says Urban Dictionary).
