- Julie bookworm 🤓5:36 · hace alrededor de 2 añosLots of fun! I agree that 2D is especially clever and I got a chuckle out of 6A, though it took me a while. 6D is the only one I still don't get (though I figured out what it had to be) because I don't know how it means "yes, or no...". Also, I haven't seen "abandoned" used to hint an anagram before, but seems like nearly anything can mean anagram! :D
- tuber constructor · hace alrededor de 2 añosGlad you enjoyed it! Now that you mention it, on reflection I don't find "abandoned" very convincing as an anagram indicator. (It shows up in a few online lists but I think the nounal sense of "abandon," as in recklessness, is lost with a -ed verb ending.)The "yes and no" in 4D is intended to indicate that the definition is applicable in one sense, but not in another: I'm thinking of golf scoring, where a birdie is one below par, and an eagle is two under.Thanks for your feedback, it's really helpful and really appreciated.
