MOAT crossed...thanks Ben!

Over the moat and into the castle. Thanks, Ben!

Got it, and currently baffled as to how I didn't get it yesterday.
Fun stuff, thanks.

That brings us up to 42. Nudges in the (Aussie) morning!

Two more, bringing us to 44:

Rufus T Firefly

Nudges, in order of increasing blatancy:

1. There are no hints in the grid, just lots of chatty clues thanks to one too many gin-and-tonics that I imbibed today. The title is all you have to go by.

2. There are no asterisks either, so I sure hope you can find synonyms for "dejected" hiding in the grid without them!

3. 64 across (SADE) is not just in the grid because she occurs in so many crosswords it would be impossible to count them all without a higher-level university degree in mathematics.

4. You are looking for 6 "dejections".

Finally crossed the moat. Thanks, Ben.

Crossed the Moat with the first 2 nudges, though I am kicking myself for using them! Thanks for another fun puzzle Ben!

Crossed the moat with no nudges. Thanks, Ben!

That's 50 in total.

Here's the solution to "Follow The Dejections":


The adjective MOROSE always makes me think of the song "Skin" by the group Vigilantes of Love. The song comes off my favourite album of 1995, "Blister Soul", and the word "morose" occurs in verse 2, for those playing along at home.
