| 11 | --- | Sort of book reader, say the French avoided (4) | 14 | 10 | Book reader -:Kindle, the French - le, avoided - del ind, Sort(definition) - (KINDLE - LE) |
- I think both the surface and the cryptic reading would work better without “say” |
| 12 | --- | Tiny butter sandwiches - new variety? (4) | 14 | 9 | KI(N)D, Tiny butter -Kid (as in goat = butt-er), sandwiches - containment indicator, N - new |
- Just lovely! - 🐐 - Nice def; also maybe replacing "tiny" with "little" may help the surface a tiny bit more |
| 13 | --- | Good steak in delicious sandwiches (4) | 14 | 8 | Hidden word, sandwiches= ind, def= good. |
- Personally prefer "sandwiches" as a containment indicator when the surface leads to the Def after "sandwiches" |
| 14 | --- | Caring relative died (4) | 11 | 9 | Definition: Caring. Anno: (KIN)(D). Relative - Kin; Died - D |
- I liked this but I think kin is plural actually, so would need to be ‘relations’ |

- Personally prefer "houses" as a containment indicator when the surface leads to the Def after "houses" |

- Clever! |

| 23 | --- | Matching colour lacking class (4) | 3 | 2 | KINDRED (Matching, different roots) - RED. Def: Class |
- ‘matching’ for KINDRED seems a little tenuous |
| 24 | --- | Brook indecency indoors? Such a person wouldn’t (4) | 3 | 2 | hidden word |
- Not sure “indoors” quite works to indicate the containment relation |
| 25 | --- | Race to hoover up last scrap of Rogan Josh (4) | 3 | 1 | KI(~N)D = race |
- Excellent! - Nicely deceptive use of “josh”, but the containment indicator’s in the wrong place for it to work as intended - Surface reads like "n" will be hoovered up by a word for "race" and that "Josh" is the (leftover) Def, rather than the other way around as may have been intended |
| 26 | --- | Caring is primordially killing: informant named defendant (4) | 2 | 2 | [Caring=KIND] is (primordially = first letters) *K*illing: *I*nformant *N*amed *D*efendant) | |
| 27 | --- | Head to keyboard to cover maiden over in careful type | 1 | 1 | K[eyboard] replaces (to cover over) M in MIND; def = type |
- ‘careful’ = MIND? (Maybe as an instruction—but even there, ‘careful’ is an adj and ‘mind’ is a verb). And I don’t understand the surface meaning |
| 28 | --- | Type using, of late, half-baked squid ink | 1 | 1 | Definition: "type", "of late half" = letter selection + "baked" = anagrind of (squi)DINK | |
