Hi Pam,

I think it's

R(ight) + 2 letter "for example" + "uniform" + 4 letter "delayed"

Ah, thanks, krise, brendon and krauton (apologies if misspelled: can't see while replying, can't remember well!)

I missed "clothes". With that, it all makes sense.

A most enjoyable puzzle - and finished on Saturday afternoon, unusual for me.

Hi everyone

I really love alphabeticals and made quick progress on this one. Most of the clues are very easy. I still have one of the "E"s to get - the one with the snow, and have been foxed by the positioning of the the four letter words. I think I've got the non E words position now I've spotted the "going east", and I guess the clue to the E words is going up, but the word eludes me.

I can't parse the T word and had just got the R word before coming on here.

I was worried that I'd started to fill in the grid the wrong way round because it is so symetrical, but was relieved to fill in words that made sense. COD was K, and P

A pleasure after last week's prize, which I failed to continue as I'd little time to devote to it before Christmas. I realised that I usually get the definiton first and work out the parsing and I love it if I have the first letter like today. I did get some of the obscure composers, but couldn't be bothered with the rest.

Hi Roof, the snow word is French and has accents on the crossing letters. You are correct about ‘up’.

Thanks Jono

I'd just got it, though I'd completely forgotten the french word for snow. I had to look it up.

All done now - in record time. I can twiddle my thumbs while my husband cooks dinner - great!

…the T word is an alternate spelling for a drink. The ‘writer’ is a thing not a person and it goes inside another drink.

Nearly done, but stuck on three j and e across and p (I think I may have it but cannot parse the short smell).

If you ever visit fifteensquared, you would recognise the J!

Chris, yes, that was my first thought!
