Title Potato Scraps
Setter The Ace of Hearts
Series Enigmatic Variations
Number 1506
Date 26/09/2021
Grid 13×12 barred grid with 180° symmetry.
Preamble One letter must be removed from each clue before solving; in clue order, these letters spell out four headwords/subheads (2 × two words, 2 × one word) in Chambers which have similar meanings. A trickster (six letters, to be highlighted) has implemented the definition of one of these words (which might be cryptically described as POTATO SCRAPS) on the completed grid; solvers must restore the grid to its original state by changing four letters in one entry. All entries in the original and final grid are real words; Chambers Dictionary (2016) is recommended.
