Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

That was fun. Look forward to next one (next week?)

Feedback (there's always a suggestion, eh?!)

Great clues
Any Fetchie references are good
Pitched at a great level

Suggest:
More "links" in the frame (so not a lone clue, and not 10 letters with just one intersecting) etc.

Have a great weekend Gordon (and crossword fans!) :-) G

thanks for the feedback HG, much appreciated. when you say 'links', do you mean the way the answers criss cross? I don't really have control of that as the shape is automatically generated. having said that, the website is still new to me so i'll deffo have a play around with it.

Yes, I think so. Do you specify the size of the frame? Maybe it's the number of long answers vs. short or something. I'll maybe have a play and see what it does. Cheers, :-) G

Had a wee play - I think more mid length words, set Min Group Size to 1 (joins them up better), and a grid only just bigger than biggest word e.g. my 12 letter longest word seemed to work best with Grid Size about 16. Anyhoodle, the hard bit is thinking up the answers and clues, not pressing the button on the wee app. Great fun though! :-) G

that's very helpful HG, thank you.

next week I'm planning to do one small one and a large one, so i'll have a play with the size and other options.

well done WM - the small one next week will be quite difficult!

strangely the only one I can't get is

6d. Subscribe and become this (11)

Which I'd assume would be one of the most literal answers of the lot.

it's one of those ones where if you do subscribe then the answer is pretty literally in your face. but if you don't subscribe then I guess there's no reason for the answer to be that obvious!
