In reply to Ixion in particular, it certainly wasn't my intention to spoil anybody's sense of achievement, and I humbly apologise if I appeared to have done so. The Spectator is a crossword I look forward to every week, and usually enjoy, but I guess I'm just not a fan of the "Hidden Anagram" style of puzzle. The answers are all there in front of you, and all you need to do is keep grinding away till you find them. Not as much room for satisfying moments of inspiration as the more usual cryptic style. Anyway, I wish well to those who are enjoying it more than I did. Everyone to his own tastes.
