Still a few teething problems.

If the JPG file for the solution is somewhat fuzzy, click 100 % in the upper left-hand corner.

Many thanx once again for the puzzle, Syzygy --- I got it the second time around logically by using the pdf symbol (otherwise you get only the top left corner of a vastly enlarged version)! Now to occupy myself on an unexpectedly rainy Sunday here!

@GK

Well, it's thanks to Aristo for providing the puzzle & previous solution.

Any problems with the links are in my court & feedback could be useful.
Perhaps you could detail the steps you took.
Also, what browser & OS do you use?

The files appear fine here, except for the JPG (official solution) which takes an extra click on the "100%" button.

Thanks.

I simply tried to print it direct at first, using Internet Explorer. (What does OS mean?!) Anyway the problem was remedied immediately when I clicked the miniature version top left labelled "pdf".
And thanks also, of course, to Aristo: that way we have a bit more time to enter!

Finished: very original! Had to find out about Oklahoma City, and 40a only works if you know the American alphabet, but it was great fun!

Thank you GK. I was trying to get the word from the letters of Oklahoma City, which doesn't work.
Is the American alphabet different from ours? Apart from zee. Will look it up.
Still raining? Lucky you!

I only meant the pronunciation, Rosalind, which I happened to learn ages ago in a Swiss school --- otherwise it's not evident to the British, the word-play, is it?!

Even though this was easy I thought the clues were remarkably good; I starred eighteen of them!
