RR,
My idea is to explain the clues for some time and later move on to simply post the interesting ones without any explanation.
I also will be posting some clues with answers , requesting for explanation . Quiz…not quite. But some people may like to post, if they can and wish to explain.
Now...

Dear Hubbers,
The earlier ones were meant for the beginners. The last post is aimed at experts. Is it worth talking on CWP this way OR is there any suggestion to improve the way this thread is moving ?
Clueman
-
Very Intersting, indeed , Clueman . You are a Cruciverbalist, aren't you?
Even I love solving,,,,,,,,,rather attempting to solve crosswords. But I always give up midway.
Your clues are really worth compiling! The next time I attempt to solve a cwp, I know whom to ask! :-)
Have a Good Day!
-
Clueman,
I don't know if this is correct, anyway here goes:
Peculiar clipped coins I got in football club.
SPECIFIC.
I + [football club= FCC??] + [coins = PIES]
Idols are gripping in pictures.
IMAGINES.
[pictures = IMAGES] +IN
Invented a new cheese?(4).
EDAM.
invented = MADE ==> anagram EDAM
-
sure Dr Veena!
Cygnus,
PIES-good guess.But actually it has come from specie(coin)-clipped to become speci and i getting into fc(not fcc).
idols -imges. Are gripping IN -you have ignored this part. Pictures as simple present singular verb-imagines.
Invented-made . This is correct. But, Clues are generally not structured this way. Secondly, you may agree with me that 'a new cheese (edam) to arrive at 'made' as an answer could have been more apt. Ayway , you dont take the meaning of a word and then jumble it in CWP.
Try the other ones too!

First, let's try explaining the answers. That itself sounds tricky 
-
Thanks HHHW! I think I'll try this way for some more time . Later on, we can attempt to structure it as a quiz. The problem I forese is that the clues will be too cryptic, if one tries to solve them outside the squares. still we'll see how it goes.
RR, Are you attempting WAKE and VICTORIA ? if someone explains half the clue, someone else might come out with the other half !
If anyone has such unexplained clues and answers, one may post here.Lets try!

did any1 participate in nst crossword
-
RR gave the solution of AMPERSAND already. Here is my shot at the rest of them.
Clueman, next time give us a couple of clues with no answer, we'll see if we can solve them
Do nothing about limiting one kind of poison(6).
DIOXIN.
DIGITOXIN without GIT or DIGOXIN without G
Bedding in oil plant, gently press down low bank(7).
PARAPET.
PEAR (DRAPE, bedding without D???) + PAT(gently press down)
Sea bird often with big ears seen in capitals(5).
NODDY. (The clue is a description of the bird, closely resembling a gull) 
Passion part of Germany had for composer(7).
IRELAND.
IRE (PASSION,ANGER from GERMANY)+ LAND (PART OF GERMANY again meaning piece of land)
BTW, Clueman, what's the answer to "WAKE" clue from last quiz?
-
RR,
That’s correct. I feel NICE is redundant(beach is normally taken as sand). In the Statesman CWP, I don’t generally see any unrelated word floating free of the context.
Cygnus,
Honestly I am unable to explain WAKE.Come can mean wake, but wash..?
In the DIOXIN stuff, NIX is turned about(about is used to reverse a word). NIX is nothing. DO XIN limiting I.
PARAPET-RAPE is a bedding(root) in an oil plant.
IRELAND-LAND is an autonomous unit of Germany(also in Austria). IRELAND-I guess is a name of a composer. Someone may confirm(May be you are sure about this as you have not explained IRELAND). IRE is passion PERIOD. No connection with Germany there.
NODDY-you are right it is a sea bird. The clue has something more. ‘Often with big ears in capitals’ -not quite explained. I checked out the other meanings of NODDY- A type of carriage, fool, a card game . May be we can think further based on these meanings. May be it is in two parts.
To all,
I am not testing anybody here. Actually there are many clues, which I am unable to explain fully. I understand one part and miss the other part. Sometimes, I understand after posting(like dioxin and parapet). Some I may guess after someone makes an attempt partially. Some I'll understand if someone else explains fully.
Clueman.

Condition down and out under the arches (14)
Rest far up the upper part of leg (5)
Choose stimulating drink carefully (4,2,2)
Northern measure of land to get shellfish (5)
I got 5 so far in this one. Will verify them tomorrow.

Hi Everyone!
What a teaser (#8217)?! Now that I've seen the answers, it seems easier

Could someone explain the following clues:

Dn - 1, 14.
-
Much comes - Lots
standard - Par (on par)

Parking Lots...
-
Thanks Thiru!

PP!
How I wish I were back home
Actually, I get the CWP section off the website. They publish the online version around 00:30 to 1:30 AM IST when it is around 2:00 to 3:00 PM US EST here (the previous day)!!
As you can see, I don't post when I can't crack a single clue but put on a show if I get lucky

If 'company' is right, then is Simpatico wrong?
-
Down:
25.sweet

RR, company & simpatico clash aagalaiye?? i think simpatico is right..
5 down is draft
10 ac is arsenal???
-
I thought start of 25 across overlaps with 'company', no? I might've mistook the fineprint..
Anyway, what clues remain?
-
Ac:
10. Armrack
29. Taraftar
Dn:
18. Afridi
Remaining clues:
Ac: 9 &15
Dn: 2 &12
-
Some guesses
A9. Back up
A15. Lyon
D12. Whole Company
-
RR! Back up was right! 3 clues remained unsolved.
My wild guess Ac 29. 'Taraftar' should've been 'Tarafdar' since it's an anagram of 'ar' and 'draft'.
Great job by everyone! We came close to solving the whole grid
How about a shot at this one: http://www.hindu.com/2005/02/17/stories/2005021782190900.pdf

obvious ones..

7 dn - Retread?
10 ac- quantum
19 ac - oslo
-
Ac:
12. Leave
14. Pro re nata
('coz of12 & 14, 'retract' would be right answer for 7dn)
17. How are you
19. Oslo
28. Snatched (if this is right ,Shanthi can't be right; but to me it looks like Shanthi is the right word for the clue )
Dn:
6. Enabling
7. Retract
8. Temper
10. Queer goings-on (thanks to Thiru for Quantum )
21. Abacus

Oh PP! I am sorry we spoiled the fun for you. I won't post my answers until later (if I do find any answers to the clues ).
Well, after some googling I figured out that the darned frigate in 3 dn is TALWAR (who makes up these clues anyway? )
That leaves us with 9 ac S-M-L-I
What about 28 ac though, is it 'snatched', 'coz it conflicts with 'shanthi'
-

Mrs PP
What is this exercise? I see post after post everyday with a list of words...
-
Badri, these are answers to the crooword puzzle in "The Hindu". A few fans of this pastime are participating in this thread, trying to help solve left out clues, trying to complete the grid. But unfortunately the other enthusiasts are very busy unlike me( a happily free old lady!). The clueman who started this thread is a multilingualist, RR,Thiru,Cygnus, Hemant Trivedi are some other fans. This is a very interesting pastime for me. NRI's are getting the puzzle published online well before we set eyes on the newspaper here in the morning!!!
-
Oh Ok...
I used to sit down with the Hindu crossword every day when I was in India...why the whole family used to..and by night time, we used to be almost done...never did get the whole lot, though.
Good going there, Mrs PP...enyoy!!
-
Why dont you join us, badri? In one of the previous pages Cygnus had link to the online access of the Hindu cwd puzzle. More the merrier. I too never completeit. As I had confessed here earlier more than half is my average.
-
well, I will most definitely try, Mrs PP...time permitting...as it is, ever since I started hubbing, so much of my work time goes here itself!!!!
I think I will have to seriously disappear for a while to get my work all done!!!

PP,
I appreciate your sense of humour(multilinguist?)! ha..ha..
Anyone,
Pl see if you could justify the answers w.r.t clues:
Air resistance Scottish writer found in channel run (5,7).
SOUND BARRIER. (sound vs channel? )
In Bow he never takes alcohol, being a mechanic (8).
ENGINEER.( Bow?)
Expression of surprise over delicate moulding (7).
CORNICE. (cor ?)
Grace not so apparent in a crooner(8).
BLESSING. (Rudolph Bing - an opera impresario. Well-crooner?)
Validating of girl’s position in embassy ? (12).
LEGALISATION.

Ha! tt, at last I managed to provoke you to notice me! I thought you forgot who PP was, never heard of such a person, nay, only too insignificant to notice!
Jokes apart, all the clues & answers given by you are above my poor head! I am a “kiNaththuth thavaLai”!

Wow! Clueman you are great! Some of the answers guessed by me also but kept in doubt. If you cant solve the rest how can I???
As for the explanation to the answers to the clues you have given I am utterly clueless!!!
-
Clueman - great show on the Hindu CWP!! PP was mostly performing soliloquies here! I rarely find the time to sit and do the puzzles with full attention...
OK, here's my best effort on your teasers:
It’s hidden in lorry -crafty! (8 )
Artistic => it is + cart (which could be a lorry )
Game bunch capable of causing injury (5)
Fives => 'fives' a ball game as well as used to mean 'fist' which is a group of 5 fingers
Had pop singer found less quiet source of material (6)
Draper (dealer or source of fabrics) => 'd (short for had) + rapper (pop singer) minus one of the p's (read as peace)
-
Tourists novel, short and in French (5)
Emmet => meaning ant used to denote tourists (pejorative);
novel, short ?; et - meaning 'and' in French
-
Cygnus, your new avatar is VERY beautiful I am reminded of Ravi varma's Oviyam of NaLa Dhamayanthi's "thoothu"
-
Thanks PP!! I like it very much too
-
Cygnus,
Good effort indeed!
Artic-articulated lorry (not cart).
Emma-novel-short-emm.
I give you a tip regarding the stateman cwp. It is very organised unlike the hindu cwp. Answers will perfectly match with the clues. It is our inability if we can't match.

I always learn new words when I see you both post here. Clueman, the explanations were cool! Hope to see you more often here with those 'justify the answer' queries
Querida!
awww... thanks for your sweet compliment I have been under the weather for a while, trying to get back to normal. I am sure you could crack the puzzles if you stat with the basics. clueman has quite a few tips in the first page to help you out with the cryptic 'codes' used in CWPs.

TORSO is correct. Torso & turbo are probably the only two words from which we have to pick the answer from. Now I see that torso is incomplete work . also 'sort and to' jumbled when incomplete is torso. What is that 'beg' for ? Well. It has to be torso!

PPjee,
It was very simple generally today. Though I feel no answer is wrong, some justification is reqd for a couple of them.
a t(tenor) + tacks(sows up). t for tenor looks a non std?!
top drawer vs people(number mix up or ...)
shrub-why one ?
conquer-let someone explain.

Simultaneous posting! Yes, easy today, tt!
‘t’ meant in ‘tenor’ means ‘thread’- my dictionary gives as meaning for ‘tenor’=”general meaning, thread, drift(of a speech,etc.,). So thread used for tacking, must be.
‘reward’ is anagram(ie.’distributed’) for ‘drawer’; ‘highest standing’ may be the the topmost drawer in a chest of drawers!
‘brush’ is a collective term for rough low-growing bushes; so ‘shrub’ rearranged is singular, may be.
No idea about ‘conquer’!
Yes, ‘notion’ is a vague idea!My dictionary says ‘notional’(of knowledge,etc.,) is speculative, not based on experiment or demonstration.
-
Tacks -sows up.He has taken T for tenor. I say T is probably not a std representation for tenor.
I mentioned about the number mix-up.Top drawer vs people.Either drawers or person to match the numbers. Top drawer I think here, points to a crowd puller.
In the shrub clue one is redundant.I for one is taken and the clue misleads.
Notion-I accept.

PPjee,
I do not have the paper with me. I remember that packages is correct(pack-bundle up+ years or some word indicating ages).
educated.....should be eggheads.
dried should be ebbed.
20 ac -I don't remember the clue. bodies? May not be.
Versus-have you got as an answer for that prosody clue? The answer is gradus.
Please try again. You may solve the grid.

PPjee,
Hinduonline is opening now!
Find the slipper and ectypes I feel are correct.
The slipper stuff-Cindrella?!
EC-election commission types-does key work. Ectype-reproduction.
I am not convinced about that egro!
sees-draws out? hm...

Some more answers:

The answer DANCER for 27ac is certainly wrong. How can one justify this? As far as possible, we should put in an answer only if we can explain the answer to our satisfaction. Judged by this criterion, "dancer" mis-steps!

I am not convinced about 27ac; who is 28ac????
-
27ac Bird Arul released only in name
Bird - tit
Arul released - ular (anag. of Arul, released being anagram signal)
only in name - def. for TITULAR, as in 'titular head of the nation'
Now, 28 Shakespearean character clutches gunner in martial art
KARATE (martial art)

C-Vasi sir,
I also filled sprattle, but mechanically. I could not locate the word in my dictionaries.
It has to mean scramble! sp+rattle seems justified otherwise.
clueman
-
Clueman,
My email name C-Vasi is a short form of Chaturvasi, which I fancy means "resident of square", chatur - square and vasi - resident of (as in Chennaivasi).
'Sprattle' (which means 'scramble') is easily derived from sp (special) and rattle (toy).
However, you won't find it in small, ordinary dictionaries.
It may be found in The Chambers Dictionary, "the crossword addict's favourite tool".
'Sprattle' is actually a Scottish word and Chambers, originating as it is from Edinburgh, is partial to Scottish words.

-
C-Vasi sir,
Well.I wonder whether I was in an inebriated state?!
Sprattle is very much there. The Chambers says it is of scottish origin. The (3801-page) New shorter(?!) Oxford says the origin is unknown. i tend to believe your statement on Chambers Scottish bias. I have an illustrated encyclopedic dict.,(Websters) , which doesn't include this word.
The new shorter oxford is the best of the dictionaries I own.
I guess you may be interested in phonetics also. Have you used/do you use the Oxford talking dictionary(BPB publication) ?
Thanks for adding value to the thread.
PPjee,
Just a tip:
I think the best way is to build the answer piece by piece from the clue. Ideally, (The Hindu makes mistakes at times as I've pointed out earlier) not a word in the clue should be without a link to the answer.

Clueman,
You are right in saying that the paper often commits printing mistakes in the clues. Today, there is a printing slip-up in an across clue (19, to be exact). To a casual reader it may not appear as an error at all but while solving the clue and examining the components you discover that.

Clueman,
Thanks for the valuable additions and also for for letting know about that 'imbue' one.
we have one more left:
9D: You and I begin experiencing extremes of penury, become close to tears (5): ?e?p? - should be weepy
I think 'You and I' suggests 'we' and experience extremes of penury suggests 'epy'
BTW - could you please elucidate why -
20A: What a correspondent likes to see in the paper maybe (2-4) is "by-line"
-
Clueman,
Sorry - just noticed that you had already provided the answer for 9D: weepy
Thanks for the corrections and additions anyway.
-
BTW - could you please elucidate why -
20A: What a correspondent likes to see in the paper maybe (2-4) is "by-line"
The explanation:
A "by-line" is the credit that is given to a report or article in a newspaper or magazine.
It is lines such as "By C-Vasi" between the heading and the opening para of the report.
It is much cherished by journalists.
In the olden days it was very difficult for cub-reporters (that is, those who are fresh to the job) to get a "by-line". (Nowadays editors are liberal in allowing bylines.)
That is why the clue-writer says: "What a correspondent [that is, reporter] likes to see in a paper [that is, a newspaper] maybe".

Folks - Thanks for the input.
C-vasi - thanks for the lucid definition of 'by line'. I'm also 'rollarajesh' in the yahoogroups... and I submitted the 'The Orient Express' clue in the last contest.

Clueman,
I often answer queries on crossword clues in forums such as the present one without having solved the puzzle in its element, viz., the grid.
I guess that while commenting on Rajesh's queries you too resorted to exactly such a practice.
You said:
tattiest-anagram part is right. I feel the clue is defective (superlative not indicated).
Even now I have not solved the puzzle as such but I think Rajesh's answer was correct. It was:
6 Being worn out as a state isn't subject to change (9) Tattiness (guess this should be anagram of 'state+isnt')
"Being worn out" suggests that the clue is a noun; the anagram fodder "stateisnt" does lead to TATTINESS, with all the letters in place; "subject to change" is the anagram signal.
On the contrary, I guess one can't derive "tattiest" from "stateisnt" (you must have reached the conclusion on seeing the letters 's-t-e' (in that order) in the anagram fodder) and so the question of the compiler giving indication for the superlative degree of the answer-word does not arise.
I am writing this merely to set the record straight and not in any carping and cavilling mood. Also, I don't hold any brief for the compilers and in fact I am among the severest critics of the work of some of the people who create puzzles in the relevant paper. Upon seeing one subtle mistake in each of two successive Sunday puzzles (attributable not to the compilers themselves but to the so-called editors) I shot off stinkers to the paper but (as always) they remain unpublished. Would you like to know what these mistakes were?
Chaturvasi
-
Mr C-V,
I am sorry I made a mistake.When I saw tattiness in Rajesh' answer I realised he solved it right and he justified it right as anagram and I was surprised why he had a doubt. That was part 1. When I posted the reply I remembered the word as tattiest (by mistake) and hence my hasty conclusion that the clue was defective. That was part 2.
part 3. Go ahead and tell me what those erors were.
part 4. Just a small feedback. You could have simply said " the answer was tattiness and not tattiest-I'd still have understood the whole story.(pl continue these healthy interactions).

In the puzzle that was published on June 26, we had this clue:
19 After parking, young man goes round vehicles to
get what may be carried in a demo (7)
The clue sentence reads all right to any non-solver. But the serious solver will know that actually vehicles should be vehicle.
In the puzzle that was published on July 3:
7 Leader on English newspaper printed
during row (9)
Many ace solvers whom I know of through forums such as this got the answer but were puzzled over the explanation. The second word should have been printed as one, not on.

rajes, you overtook me because of a misfotune here-power failed just as I finished typing the answers! I was so elated to have solved sooooo many clues after soooo looong
Here are a few:

PP:
Pity that you lost the entry.... but there are still many blanks left to fill. Maybe I should wait for you.... I have unfair advantage.... I'm able to access hinduonnet.com as early as 2 AM IST.
It is Reagan - you are right. I had it right on the grid - moreover it should match 3D: 'lantana'.
I have my own doubts about 2D and 8D and I have pointed this out in my previous post. Please let me know if you come up with better ones.

Thanks for segregating the clues for which explanations were in doubt.

8 Typical quality of a girl, good oriental (7) ??E?A?E (TEENAGE - not sure!!)

===============================================
-
Down
2 What the new employee has to go through to get the maximum pay for the job (9): T?M?S?A?E (Timescale?)
TIMESCALE should be the answer. You remember that employees have what is called a payscale, something like 1200-5-1400 etc. where 5 stands for the number of years one has to wait until the next raise. But I didn't know it is also called timescale.
8 Typical quality of a girl, good oriental (7) ??E?A?E (TEENAGE - not sure!!)
The answer must be AVERAGE (typical quality). A-Vera(girl)-g(good)-E(oriental).
24 Penny in the slot to produce a break (5): SPLIT (think this is the answer - I think the 'slot' should be 'slit')
SLOT also has the sense SLIT. So no mistake there!

The yahoogroups people also have completed the grid

C-V sir,
Thanks for the post on errors in The Hindu CWP.
To be fair to them, I feel this is probably the only home-grown CWPand in a couple of years they should catch up with the rest.
time scale may be the right answer. Is it one word(even if it is in any dictionary)? We hear about a time scale being followed in some organisations where there are not many avenues for promotions. After a few years people are given the next scale. What you say (1200-5-1400) could also be some explanation( I was not aware of this type of ascale-thanks).
Clueman
-
The weekday crossword is "homegrown" (it's a nice word that you've used) but the crossword that is published in the Sunday edition of the paper concerned is not. It is actually the Everyman crossword that is published in The Observer of London, though this fact is not acknowledged.
It is a pity that the paper does not draw any distinction between the two crosswords and uses the same title with different serial numbers.
People who are strangers to the paper are often confused when they see (in online edition) one crossword on Saturday/Sunday and an unrelated solution the next day.
The paper doesn't carry useful pointers like Solution on Monday/Solution next week.
-
"Timescale" or "time scale" usually means "an arrangement of events used as a measure of duration." Wordnet gives the illustration: "On the geological time scale mankind has existed but for a brief moment."

Sorry 1A: is not DIME but DISCRETION

Across
9 Spiritless fellow (7) : M??????
10 Main resting places? (7) : ??A?O?S (the O might be wrong in this one)
28 Thorough entering (7) : I?G?I?G (after writing this I realize that this might be 'ingoing')
Down
2,3,4 and 5 depends on whether `1A: DISCRETION and 12A: KNOTTING are right!!

Thanx, rajes I must have been only half-awake when I read the puzzle
I was grossly misled by my "periodical"-why I let go "chess", letting go "Ibsen" is unpardonable
Well, now I have this to add:4dn-depressed

PP:
Thanks.... I want to add that 1A: DISCRETION might be wrong.... now that you have suggested 4D: DEPRESSED - it looks more so....
Let me know if you can add any more....

Got 'squinch' from dictionary.com
-
Clueman,
Thanks for the input. Now we have two left-
10A: Main resting places? (7) : S?A?E?S (Is that SEATERS)
12A: Beginners' exercises in embroidery (8 ) : ?A?P?E?S
-
I had 'foliage' in mind too
'seaters' looks ok.
So only one left
-
PP et al,
The puzzle today is patchy and I suspect that it's a different composer from yesterday's. And he or she is not my favourite.
I won't be solving these puzzles but may I step in to wrap up the crossword?
10A: Main resting places? (7) : S?A?E?S SEABEDS
Since "main" also means the sea, this must be seabeds, getting beds from resting places.
12A: Beginners' exercises in embroidery (8 ) : ?A?P?E?S SAMPLERS
These are patterns of embroidery on which beginners "exercise" as they develop their skill in the art. Young women in Jane Austen novels are known to work on "samplers".
-
From the beginning I was raking my brains fro a sea-related word- it was obvious 'main' had to be sea. But a dumb I
Anyway 'all's well that ends well'
-
It was only after Mr. C-V pointed out.... that I realized why today's puzzle seemed so different from the previous ones. It was not formulated by the regular guy(s)! I prefer the old version. Most probably this one was set by an amateur.

3 more clues to be solved:
18ac, 25ac, 27ac
-
PP and Clueman,
Congrats... Although I solved some earlier in the evening, I did not have the time later to follow up!
But I went through your solution and I think 18A is 'Miocene' from the tertiary epoch. Try 'tertiary system' in google...
The other two seem so vague!! Maybe C-V can pitch in and help us. I have reproduced it below for his convenience.
25A: Tie tree for a vocal trio (7): T?E?C?T
27A: One retaliates with a severe blow when attacked (4): ?N?R
-
I am copy-pasting my attempt at the two clues from another forum:
25A: Tie tree for a vocal trio (7): T?E?C?T
(TIERCET (Fits the meaning of vocal trio - it is a set of three rhyming lines, and possibly an anagram involving tree, am unsure about how this works!))
27A: One retaliates with a severe blow when attacked (4): ?N?R
(GNAR (possibly severe blow - rang, retaliates - gnar))
I am doubtful about both the answers, they are just attempts!
Do we have explanations for 5 Ac., 9 Dn. and 20 Dn.?
-
"Inch" also means "island". Hence "waterbound" in the clue.
25ac: The intended solution is TIERCET but the clue is poor in many respects. For one thing the anagram fodder (tie tree) is wrong.
-
It is nice to see so many forums for the discussion of the Hindu Crossword! We have the Yahoo Groups, the Orkut community and this hub forum! It is nice to interact with more people. And, it is much easier to write here than on the Orkut forums!!
I am just curious about the rules for posting in here. C-Vasi provides explanations for the clues that he steps in to solve. I am wondering about the explanations for the rest of the clues.
-
Do we have explanations for 5 Ac., 9 Dn. and 20 Dn.?
5ac: See above
9dn: Not worth sweating over as it is an egregiously bad clue by the careless compiler.
-
With such inveterate and assiduous solvers like PP, Rajesh and clueman, and now ganeshts entering, we must use this forum for our exchanges. Unlike some forums that I know of, this is very stable and dependable and it's a pleasure to post messages. Also, this allows editing messages and reposting with tremendous ease.
We may also try to fix a timing that is suitable to those in the two timezones so that at least one day in a week (Saturday? Sunday?) we can solve a puzzle together with successive messages.
-
C-Vasi Sir,
Good idea.... that would be interesting.
BTW - I had a question about one of the clues.
24 Long runner to slide over snow (3): ski
Is there a reason why the adjective 'long' is used here?
-
ganeshts:
28ac One retaliates with a severe blow when attacked (4) ?N?R
I got the answer just now! (I had to veer away from suggestions such as knur etc., and think afresh!)
It is ONER, sometimes seen in U.S. synonymic puzzles. It has also appeared previously in the crossword under discussion; give me some time to ferret it out from my database.
The word, though found in U.K. dictionaries, is an American term. It means "a heavy blow". Another sense is " a big lie".
OK, how do you derive the answer from the clue?
The compiler agains lets us down!
It is supposed to be a "hidden" clue, with no indicator for the
clue-type. ONE Retaliates...
And there are so many unnecessary words in the clue!
-
A previous clue for ONER was
Single right blow (4)
ONE-R
That was 12ac in 7215 on Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2001.
-
24 Long runner to slide over snow (3)
Not bad!
Two definition clue.
Long runner / to slide over snow
SKI Noun / SKI Verb
"Long runner" is a reference to the long, narrow strip of wood or metal or any manmade material fastened to the foot of the skier.
-
I too had a feeling it must be 'oner'(like tenner for 10 dollar note)- in colloquial fights "kannaththila onnu vachchenna theriyum!
C-Vasi, glad you feel at home here That is the speciality of this hub. We feel very free to speak out our minds And so many like-minded friends found Any no. of topics & and articles & fast interaction in ever so many threads in a variety of sections here-like a mega supermarket/departmental store/one-stop-shop for whatever one's needs/inclinations/intersts are
Being an old woman whose main family duties over, with well-earned leisure & a love for reading & writing, I find this place a happy haven of a hub.

Another bad crossword from the same compiler.. With the aid of extensive Googling, I have (or rather think I have) managed to complete the grid. Instead of posting the complete solutions (which I do on the Orkut forum) here , I will give below the solutions to the worst clues of the lot (many of these are direct, and the fact that it is supposed to be a cryptic crossword misled me most of the time):
Across:
9 Vehicle moved by human effort (7) - BICYCLE
12 Prepared oneself for action (6) - GIRDED (Not a really bad one, since it was easily recognised as a direct clue)
30 Nothing more than a fast time performed slowly (5) - LENTO (Nothing - O + time - T + rest?)
Down:
2 Resting on one holding an ecclesiastical office (9) - INCUMBENT (The ecclesiastical made me think in terms of bishops and cardinals, but I guess it is an unnecessary part of the clue, unless C-Vasi points to some other merit which is not in my limited ken)
5 Bear one who masters a system of meditation (4) - YOGI (I don't know where the Yog comes from)
26 A gone by money-exchange business (4) - AGIO (Fits the meaning of money exchange business.. explanations?)
27 Projection keeping rain from parts below (4) - DRIP (WORST clue of the lot, words like 'below' and 'parts' had all the markings of a cryptic clue.. Ended up being a direct one, with the definition directly lifted from the dictionary)
-
One peek at the crossword today and I knew that it was the same compiler.....
Clueman - I went through the list of worst clues... and they stink! I think 'Yogi' also refers to the 'Yogi Bear' cartoon here.
BTW - how does one subscribe to this orkut or whatever you are talking about?
-
While holding no brief (or Y-front) for the compiler, "incumbent" is a person who holds an ecclesiastical benefice or any office.
And who says the relevant crossword is a cryptic crossword? That adjective doesn't appear in the title!
So when a crossword is cryptic ask why it is so!
-
Thanx, ganeshts! You are very considerate.
These are the answers I could find out:
Across:
6.debut
11.iambus

Lent is the fasting period of 40 days before Easter, beginning on Ash eWednesday. Clue was not bad?!
incumbent-already explained.Clue was all right.
Agio seems correct. May be poor compiling.
Drip may be wrong. Let us think again.
!A initially(in+it+i+ally)
10.Girded is correct(may not be birded)
15 Great flood?
16 isle(lies raised-clue defect, I suppose; raised is used for reversal in Down clues; here it is used for anagram in an Across clue).
18A fate(oily-fat-well! earth-e)
28 budding?
1D inbeing
3incrust
4lien(sounds the same as lean-good clue)
6 dearie is ok. (a red i.e)
7 bided
8 treadle is ok.
-
Sorry! Drip is correct. I agree with Mr C_V that the clue need not be cryptic.
10A Grandee(Omission in my last post)
-
Could it be Graeat lakes instead of great flood?
-
Itz Great Delay, a direct clue!
-
Sorry, that was bad judging on my part with reference to 30 Ac!
My apologies
Very good discussion going on here regarding the clues!
If any of you want to subscribe to Orkut, just post in your GMail ID (preferable) or Yahoo ID where you can check your mails, and I can try to drop you an invite.
-
So 13dn & 14dn are to be solved yet- with 15ac as 'great delay'!
-
PP: Here are the rest of the answers. Thanks for segregating the clues that remained to be solved.
13 Said to be weak as a result of sham attack (5)
The answer is FEINT. This word, which means "sham attack", is a homonym of "faint" (adj., weak) (indicated by the signal "said to be". )
14 Central part of an orange? (5)
NAVEL - which means the centre, as that of the human abdomen. The allusion is to navel orange , a variety of the fruit which has a navel-like depression.

Good ones, really

This time I am going to play it safe and give the solutions to the 2 clues which I solved last (and of which I am sure of the answers)!
Not yet completed the grid, there is still one pending clue in 22 Across! Suggestions are welcome
Across:
9 Terribly irate going round ancient city in ancient country (7) - ETRURIA (Irate + ancient city - Ur: anagram; Interesting trivia - Etruria: An ancient country in central Italy; assimilated by the Romans by about 200 BC)
Down:
13 Ted Heath was one reportedly suppressed PM? (10) - BANDLEADER (I suppose this can't be solved without Googling, unless you have already heard of Ted Heath! It is a homonym for 'banned leader' with suppressed - banned + PM - leader!)
-
Ganeshts,
did u mean 22D?
23A is apropos,25A is remorse
22D looks like orum(o+rum-house or close seems redundant, depending on whether this is the answer and if so what it means).
I could not find the word in my dictionaries. I am sure u googled and got that author's name only!

CV sir,
I just read your post on orum. Suddenly now I dont see it. I agree with you anyway!
Florida needs some explanation-could it be flo+r+ida(may be some ida being a daughter of a flo?!)
Clueman
-
In Florida-if it is flo+r+i(island)+d.....then a?
-
It is d in Floria. While we are familiar with Flora as a girl's name, Floria is rather a rare name.
I deleted my message on 22d.
-
Is there any convincing explanation for 22d?
First of all, ORUM is not in any of the several specialist dictionaries in my library.
No word in any Sunday crossword is redundant, but even allowing for this and concluding that
Close to - position indicator
old - o
and - connector
strange - rum
house - ?
There is no authority for orum = house.
Is there any printing mistake? Could it be horse? Was there any legendary horse by the name Orum?
Leave alone definition, no crossword pattern dictionary has ORUM.
So I am still groping...
-
22d: The answer is DRUM
Close to old=the end of the the word "Old"=D
Rum strange as suspected
Drum = house (Australian slang)
Thanks to two correspondents in rec.puzzles.crosswords who promptly answered my query in that forum.
It is a pity that none of the several crossword dictionaries that I have has DRUM under 'house' or 'house' under DRUM.
I am averse to looking up slang dictionaries.

I too didn't solve the puzzle.
On seeing the question mark against an answer in clueman's posting, I followed in his footsteps. I simply put in the known letters for 28ac. from previous messages, and the moment I read the clue and saw W?R?S?P, the answer struck me. WORKSOP.
On the analogy of 'milksop'.
However, while we are all familiar with workaholic, worksop is not. Appears to be an archaic term.
I wanted to confirm that it means what is stated in the clue sentence. But alas it is not in Chambers.
Shall I return after some looking up?
-
'worksup' comes closest!
-
The closest that I came to finding what 'WORKSOP' meant was this page.
Etymology
[From the place name.] Note: Coined by Douglas Adams & John Lloyd in The Deeper Meaning of Liff.
Definition
A person who never actually gets round to doing anything because he spends all his time writing out lists headed 'Things To Do' - Douglas Adams & John Lloyd
Does it actually fit what we are looking for?
-
That's the definition I too came up with. I believe the compiler's intended solution is WORKSOP though they may have imposed upon the term a meaning that it does not possess.

Mrs PP,
seems it is 'migrated'.
MI is moral instruction generally.Here maybe it is moral instructor(good man-does he have to be?). grate is to shred or strip. so far so good.
Then plunge should mean migrate?!
clueman
-
I am not sure about 3 Dn. ACRE, is there a proper explanation for that? If it had been land meaure, i would have been happy, but it says 'measures' and also, I haven't figured out the '10' yet. Any pointers?
I have 9 Ac. which could be DIVESTED (Good man - ST + took a plunge - DIVED + extra E, don't know from where!), fits the meaning stripped off.
-
DIVESTED seems to be right since I have the answer to 3Dn, which is ARES.
A little bit of Googling led me to this site, where I found the meaning of the word to be 100 square metres!
-
-
Are is singular and ares is plural(remember are and hectare?). clue is 10 land measures. ares seems better than acre as the former is plural.
what is 10?
divested could be the answer. It seems as unjustified as migrated.

18D I guess it is edifice(thats what I've posted earlier also).
I thought I had finished the grid with that.but I now see I haven't solved 23D.
?i?e?r-In this i and r are certain. rummage may be wrong(very litle chance). bitter is an option. But in rummage rum?a?? part should be retained and a solution should be sought.
clueman
-
onelook.com is a very useful site.It gives very good search options.
It searches through several dictionaries and gives the results.wild card options are very attractive. One can search for a word, a few letters of which are known and meaning is known.
r?m?a??:oddment
or ?i?e?r:resentment or something may be checked out.
-
1 Ac. should be ACRE as clueman guesses! No explanations in mind right now.
2 Dn. is RECITER (makes a lot more sense than my initial solution on another forum)
The rest of the clues are solved as below:
Dn. 18 Official language of Ethiopia (7) - AMHARIC (Direct - Encyclopaedia search of Ethiopial yielded this)
Ac. 27 Oddment having residue (7) - REMNANT (Double)
Dn. 23 Full of resentment (6) - BITTER (Direct)
That solves the grid!
Also, in addition to www.onelook.com, which requires you to be connected to the internet, there is another software called WordWeb Pro, which is really good for immedaite wildcard lookups and also anagrams. It doesn't search for words related to a particular definition, though! More details can be found here. The Pro version requires license, but if anyone is interested, I can arrange for a 'trial' (not exactly 'legal' though)
A small addition to the explanation for SNAFU [It has been provided in the grid in the verb form, but it has a noun form too] (from WordWeb Pro): An acronym often used by soldiers in World War II: situation normal all f***ed up

Recall - def. for reqd word, viz. recap (v.), short for recapitulate
retreating - reversal indicator

Steps to obtain the ET crossword online (it appears around 9:30 AM IST everyday):
clueman,
The following instructions are thanks to ganeshts.
His forum now includes discussions on the ET crossword in Mumbai edition (as you probably know).
Now while I am able to print images, I am trying to convert the original file to tiff and then on to txt file so that quoting clues in postings becomes possible. But I have some way to go in this area, for which too ganeshts has given instructions in a posting in his forum.
I think it is well worth joining his forum, where I am a member from the word go!
1. Ensure you have an IndiaTimes ID
2. Visit: http://epaperdaily.timesofindia.com/
3. Login after ensuring that the chosen publication is The Economic Times, and the City is Mumbai.
4. Click on Page 23 in the left frame, which links to 'ET cetera'. The crossword appears on the top right corner of this page.
5. Click on this crossword and wait for a 'pop-in' screen to appear. This 'pop-in' screen contains only the crossword. Right click and save the image.

Thanks sir!
ear lobe-two words!

Earlobe is one word.

Chambers; Penguin
However, it is two words in Longman and Oxford.
So it is a draw!

Clueman - Yeah - simultaneous post.... I was also surprised.
I sort of got the OLIVE one. But what is the "City" doing there. I think Delight=OLE (from spanish) and Four=IV
-
city must be a misprint for cry
-
C-V must be right!! Cry of delight = OLE makes more sense.
-
But then if we substitute cry for city, the clue doen't make sense. More than a misprint, the mistake must be elsewhere. Anyway the clue is eminently forgettable.

Absolutely correct. So why the question mark?
27 Result of long exposure to big star - a touch of the sun
or - connector
a filial pat, say - homophone of a touch of the son (a filial pat), 'say' being homophone indicator
-
Mr C-Vasi,
I was not familiar with this phrase. I worked out the solution from 'filial pat','star',exposure etc., I didn't refer to a dict., as I would have done normally.
Clueman
-
Clueman,
I must confess that I too have not really come across this phrase before.
But, as you say, we were able to get it without any difficulty from wordplay.
I have just looked it up in Chambers: the phrase means not only mild sunburn (which we could guess, of course) but, horror of horrors, even mild sunstroke!

Madras that is Chennai now is indeed a city but in idioms the term is town.
I am in Chennai and am too old to paint the town red but even if I attempt to do that, awkwardly holding the can and the brush in my hand and hobbling along with the ladder slung on my shoulder, I would still be painting the town (not city) red.
-
Sir,
When a CWP clue says 'Chennai,say' , I'd expect the word city there and not town. As regards painting the town red, I agree one can do it in a hamlet too!
Clueman
-
When the English people living in villages near and around London go there, they say to their friends, I believe, "I am going to the town".
Why, in Chennai there is an area called "town" from which I think the city slowly took shape.

Mrs.PP,
I thought it was a typo. I should have said that too!
C-V sir's explanation for mestri is perfect.The compiler is a Tamil or knows the language.
Neither the compiler nor we are native speakers of English, certain deviations could be
considered 'within permissible tolerances'.
Just for info I wanted to post this:
mistri (Á¢Šòâ) is a Hindi word and I believe mestiri(§ÁŠ¾¢Ã¢) is derived from it.
Indian supervisor could be a Hindi or a Tamil supervisor.So 'mestri' part is perfect.
The pronunciation of the word maestri is maistri or ma'estri(a is like a in fan).
t in Tamil is retroflex and in English it isn't. ¾ doesn't exist in English(th is pronounced
more like a mix of ¾ and s). maestri and §ÁŠ¾¢Ã¢ are not homonyms, but §ÁŠ¾¢Ã¢
sounds somewhat similar to maestri.

Hanklyn-Janklin or a Stranger's Rumble-Tumble Guide to Some Words, Customs and Quiddities Indian and Indo-British (let me regain my breath) says mistri is Urdu, from Portuguese.
S. Muthiah's Words in Indian English is silent on its origin.
Common India Words in English by R. E. Hawkins briefly mentions its Portuguse origin.

19d Staddle
17d Looks like it is 'globously' although I am not too sure of the word
24a Dinto or Dingo
reiterate = din (din = to impress by insistent repetition -- often used with into)
Searched to find that 'dingo' is in fact a dog but it doesnt quite fit with the clue. 'dinto' does fit though.

Posting the following note by Chaturvasi on his behalf:
Wicked Milind fallen at 5 in the English river pulled (4-6) EVIL-MINDED
It works like this:
Wicked - def for reqd word
Milind - anag fodder
fallen - anag indicator
at 5 - the above anag ILMIND goes with V
in the - container/contained signal
English river - DEE
pulled - reversal indicator This gives EED
So -
E(V-ILMIND*)ED <-
-
wow!
-
Yes, C_Vasi is very great!

Let us wait & see what the orkut people come up with! I have a silly doubt: why no symmetry in today's grid?
-
false beard!
ploy seems ok.
-
Thanx, tt! The doubt about symmetry in the grid is still nagging me! Is it an important rule or not?
-
PPjee,
I've not seen the grid today. I am used to seeing CWP's with symmetry, but I am not sure about any rule. Maybe it is a convention. The fact remains that The Hindu CWP is not on par with the best in the business! Still, this is the only home-grown stuff I know and so .....deserves our encouragement!

It is American grid, you switch it around 180 degrees , you will see the symmetry.
You will see the top left and bottom right will be symmetrical and vice versa top right and bottom left

You put it upside down the grid will be exactly same.

The grid being a perfect square with 15 spaces for letters whichever way I turn it I fail to see it! Perhaps I am getting too old to grasp such things!!! Let us forget it!
