"which he didn’t take for grant Ed Hew ? Hugh Grant ? but why no capital G and what is Ed ?" ed is the last two letters of granted. Do the clues need to be capital sensitive as they are not spelling sensitive as in hew and hugh? | |||

"Ed with a capital E makes me think it's a person. that was predictive. " But can't you see Ed made it confusing as it looked like a person and grant didn't have a capital and was a person. In fact Ed was totally superfluous ! | |||
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) |
""Which he didn't take" - what is the relevance of this phrase ?" seriously??? I’m not a times crossword writer and some of what is there is not always part of the clue. I will be sure to take care in future so that all clues are very straight forward without red herrings. | |||
