NB: WSJ has reorganized the puzzle site somewhat.
The solution was usually available a week after the puzzle.
Now it is attached to the following week's puzzle. I'll monitor the situation.

Also there are now buttons for Variety puzzles:

and cryptics:
https://blogs.wsj.com/puzzle/category/cryptic/
Please note that Cryptics are often tagged as Variety.

Thank you Syzygy, that's my Sunday sorted.

Much appreciated:-)

syzygy, enjoyed it.

Practice Zen and you get there.

Good one, sunray.

Is that a clue, sunray? As usual, can't get started on this one.

Yes rosalind. It is a hint to the shaded row.

In most cases only one cell in each row gets 5 letters.

Glazed over in preamble is also a hint.

To start you off, the last cell in row ! has 5 letters.
1a is normal. Mean is a 7 letter word.
6a has 4 letters go in to the last cell.
9d is normal.

Thanks, syzygy.

Thanks sunray
