I now have the whole of the bottom half and a lot of the top ... and, despite having got most of the themed answers, I still have no idea what the transformations are!

hi all,
finished all but "transformation" no. 8. only common letter in the seven is N. do i need to change URANCHRO or EOMEMDAZ ????????

Sorry, but I can't help, dizoz. I've completed the grid now (although I'm not quite sure how 12A is made up cryptically yet). But the rules are very strange. I read it that there is one letter common to all non-thematic solution, which is not possible.

hi pendragon, I think 12a is drawn from touring "unfamiliar" or the word related to the activity that the solution represents , eh ???
only "N" is in all the seven thematic solutions.

Thanks, dizoz. Yes, the four letters are removed and then it is "toured."

You need to look at the Special Instructions again, noting that the letter in question is unique and appears in the thematic solutions before transformation.

Yes, it really all depends how you interpret the special instructions. That's the first time I've finished it before 8.00 a.m. on the day it's put up!

If it's no use I can email you a blank grid?

Thanks, Sudokulover.

Now I can go to bed & print it tomorrow.
That's BC Day & I'm off, so can work on it.

My grid is full and I have changed the relevant letter. Now I need to sort out where those 7 answers actually came from & their transformations!!
