1ACross is happy to present “One Off”, from “Teezer”, exclusively for our solvers.

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

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

In most of the clues in this grid, the wordplay leads to an answer that is either one letter more or one letter less than the actual solution. This extra/ missing letter could be from any part of the solution word and will need to be added or deleted from the solution arrived at from the wordplay. There is no indicator as to whether a letter needs to be added or deleted. The clues marked with ** are regular clues, where the wordplay leads directly to the solution.

The online interactive version can be completed and submitted by anyone who wishes to participate, on or before EOD 26th June 2019.. All those who submit entries have a chance to enter our leader board for 2019.

Annotations for the puzzle will be discussed at 1ACross on Thursday, June 27, 2019.
