Listener 4809 Some Conceit by Vainglorious
Posted by gillwinchcombe on 19 Apr 2024
“Thy Lord is risen” – thanks Vainglorious for this apposite and uplifting quote, a refreshing change from some of the darker themes of late.
For me, Some Conceit got the difficulty level just right. The clues were solvable with concentration, the message emerged at a helpful rate, and the endplay turned out to be easier than I thought it would. A good solve!
The clue that made me smile most was 17ac HAIRDO, Try to accept Independence Party style. I particularly enjoy the challenge of this “cut and shut” type of clue, where you, the setter, bamboozle the solver by forming a commonplace phrase from what turn out to be 2 unrelated words that have to be prised apart by the solver. Unlike an unscrupulous car dealer though, what you’re doing is fair, not fraudulent.
I’m still mulling over 24ac PAIRWISE and the title. I will get there!
