Stickler’s solution pages usually include a comment or two on his constructing philosophy or on other crossword matters, so you should check them out even if you got through the week’s puzzle on the first try. Last week’s solution page noted that Stickler is not fond of double definition clues. I think he’s got a point: they’re usually more work than play, and not all that hard to solve.
So Stickler’s got the answer (which Hot and Trazom also use sometimes). Triple the definition, or maybe even quadruple it! Go visit the post for some clever work.
Meanwhile, this fortnight’s The Nation puzzle is of moderate difficulty. Good solvers will find it smooth. If you’re more of a novice, the key is steady effort. Getting one answer will lead you to the next, and onward until the grid is completed.
