Setter Serpent
Series Enigmatic Variations
Number 1278
Date 14/05/2017
Grid 12×13 barred grid with 180° symmetry.
Preamble The wordplay in sixteen down clues leads to a thematically modified answer; the unmodified answer must be entered into the grid. The wordplay in each across clue leads to the answer and an additional letter not to be entered into the grid; in clue order, these give a phrase explaining why the unclued entries must be replaced, and what must replace them. All entries in the final grid are real words, and Chambers Dictionary (2016) is recommended.
