Cryptic crossword No 489

Wonderful! Favourites include 29a, 9d, 11a, 21d for the surfaces, and the genius in 6d. All great stuff.

Delightful. I'm not convinced by the definition in 13a, but I thought 12a, 27a, 28a was quite superb (obscure answer - clear wordplay), and I really liked 11a, 17a, 26a, cd, 7d, 9d and 21d. One further comment put in a reply because it contains a spoiler.

Very nice, Liari - always enjoy learning about new (to me) varieties of 28a from your puzzles. 9d is the standout clue for me - lovely find. Also particularly liked 17a, 6d

Lovely approachable puzzle Liari with everything falling very nicely into place when i followed your instructions. Undone by a couple of unknowns (3d and 11a) and you beat me fair and square with 6d. Favourites include: 1a, 13a (once I understood def), 17a, 29a, 7d, 9d, 21d. Spoiler in Reply.

Finally found some time to complete this Liari. Great fun and challenging (for me at least). Once I started to get crossers, I often found myself suddenly seeing the answer and wondering how I’d not spotted it before, which I think is down to neat surfaces misdirecting me on several occasions. When the clues finally revealed themselves, there were plenty of smiles. To pick some favourites, I really enjoyed 6d 7d (both delightful in different ways) 11a 17a 9d and 21d. Thanks for a lovely puzzle
