Was waiting for someone else to crack, but eventually went ahead and converted this PDF into Excel format. Have uploaded MS and Libre Office versions to Wormhole. Your mileage, as always, may vary.

Seem to be missing a 10a clue.
Initial impression is that the numbered clues are not too hard, to allow us to get them to use as a basis for filling in the unnumbered clues.

Thanks Plutocrat. I see what you mean about 10a.

I also knocked up a quick cc file for my own purposes. It should work on any device. Here’s the link should anyone find it useful…

I have the grid, thanks, but where do I access the clues? Is it not possible if you don't have a subscription?

The pdf is on the Guardian site. Here’s the link…

Thanks Jono, still in Australia ,no printer , so had drawn out grid by hand!! Now much easier thanks to you.
Yes noticed 10a missing and making progress on numbered clues but not so well on alphabetical. Maskarade one of my favourite setters so looking forward to settling down to Easter prize.
Hope you all have a happy Easter weekend.

Thanks Jono

Thanks all for making these files available. In Italy with no access to hard copy so I'll have a go. But I'm not sure how easy it will be to flip between files. But your efforts are all much appreciated.

Am I being stupid — is 21a missing as well as 10a?

I don’t think anything is missing. The preamble says there are 27 numbered solutions and that matches the numbered clues given. 10a and 21a must therefore be unclued and so covered by the jig-saw section.

I think!
