1ACross is happy to present “The Secret of the Naga’s Arm”, a challenging puzzle from “Hasslethymi”, exclusively for our readers.

For each clue, an anagram of the solution should be entered into the grid in place of the solution itself. Both the solution and its anagram are single words which appear in any standard English dictionary. Note that certain solutions have multiple possible anagrams, e.g. if the solution to the clue is ‘PROSE’, the word to enter into the grid could be ‘POSER’, ‘ROPES’, ‘PORES’ or ‘SPORE’.

The online interactive version can be completed and submitted by anyone who wishes to participate, on or before EOD 12th May 2018.. All those who submit entries have a chance to enter our leaderboard for 2018. Here’s the current leaderboard

Annotations for the puzzle will be discussed at 1ACross on Sunday, May 13, 2018.

Happy solving.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SAVE, TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ASKED AT THE END OF THE PUZZLE
