I Made A British Thing!
Hi all,
I have made my first foray into cryptic crosswords! You can find the drive with the pdf and puz files here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing
And the web-hosted version here:
http://crossword.info/madhatter5/I_Made_a_British_Thing
Note that I have not provided the solutions. This is because I think the clues are on the tougher side and so I wanted to make it into a contest and see who can solve it first. First to send me the correct completed grid gets to decide on the theme for an upcoming MEOW! (Yeah, because I know that's what you've all been hoping for )
Note also that this puzzle has NOT been test-solved and that as I mentioned it is my first cryptic, so forgive me if there are any mistakes. There is absolutely no warranty and you play at your own risk.
Good luck!
Edit: You can email the completed grid to jdrubin@middlebury.edu

How are you guys able to PM attachments? None of the files I tried to attach went (e.g., ".puz extension not allowed"). Do I need some kind of permission I don't have?

Nothing worked for me. In fact, it never has. Do we have his email address? I thought I did, but I don't.

Is the solution available anywhere? I am learning cryptics and only to the point where I have to work to “get it” even with the answer.

I only figured out four of them on my own. I have a way to go!
