Cracking the Cryptic?
By teamcrazymatt
I have suffered a recent injury that has similarly befallen this cryptic. The
last letter of every answer in the grid has detached itself from the end and
replaced itself somewhere else in that particular solution. (For example, if
a clue's answer is ANSWER, it should be entered as RANSWE, ARNSWE, ANRSWE,
ANSRWE, or ANSWRE.) Every replaced end letter is checked. Enter all the answers
properly and my injury will reveal itself.
