Hi Keepatit, yes the wiggle may end in a numbered cell, but otherwise can go through no numbered cells except the start

Colophon - 16 is an anagram of curries - us.

Exactly, Meursault. I do wish people wouldn't post misleading or downright wrong information on here. Very unfair on those who are struggling. I defy anyone to have a solution without any wiggles ending in numbered squares. The first wiggle, for example

It may be that the use of the word "edge-adjacent" in the preamble has been misinterpreted as meaning both adjacent and at the edge of the square/octagon. But it just means with a common side, rather than merely touching at the corner.

Yes, I think you're right. And my last sentence in comment 40 falls into that category : confusing 2 different issues. Ignore it please.

No worries, Meursault. And lib is a common Latin abbreviation for liber

What a tough one, not helped by my iPad playing up so I don't have access to my Chambers and Bradfords on it. I'm making slow progress, helped enormously by the clarification of 'edge adjacent' - thanks. Am I correct in thinking that the soccer player in 14 is an official rather than a team member?

No, planks, it is a player, not an official

Drat. thanks keepatit.

Planks, 14 is not an attacker or midfielder. Can anyone help with 21 and 24?
Totally stumped with this one, as I have been for most of the puzzles this year.
