Cryptic #23: Lozenges in the Sky
My Twenty-Third Crossword Hello all. Here's a crossword written for one of my closest friends, who turns 17 today and is moving to the United States quite soon. I have been helping him get into crosswords, and he is even making his own currently, so stay tuned. Thanks to Jack Keynes for test-solving. The grammar, I hope, is slightly stricter than usual, without compromising the fun of the clues. (To the aforementioned friend:) "10-across 12-across 26-across. I will miss you greatly - and I know Ms. 1-across will too. Sadly, there is no PTA to get 5-down 24-down, or CJT to call you 28-across, from all the way across the 8-down. So good luck in 1-down, 20-across, 25-down, and goodbye." Have fun! - GAIS, 27/08/21
