Our tenth grid for this season is “Roll The Dice” from “Metacryptix”.

Answers can be submitted by anyone who wishes to participate, on or before EOD 13th June 2025. All those who submit entries have a chance to enter our leader board for 2025.

Annotations for the puzzle will be posted in the blog on Saturday, 14th June, 2025.

Update: Please note that the Clue for 9A has been revised after the initial publication. It has been edited from “Audibly declared for listeners (5)” to “Audibly approved by auditors (5)”

NOTE: I have changed the submission process for the Bonus form and I think it would be easier now. The main changes are
The Bonus form does not use google forms and does not need another separate login.
I have separated the bonus questions and feedback sections and these can be done separately.
Once you complete the feedback section, it gives you an option to save it as a PDF or print it if you wish to keep for future reference.
You can only submit once.

Since this is the first post for which I have implemented it, please do let me know if this works fine. In case you have any difficulties, please comment in this post or mail at 1acrossgp@gmail.com with specfic details on browser / operating system with screenshots if possible

  2. Excellent and enjoyable puzzle with many cleverly constructed clues. Learnt a few new words. I found 21D surface hilarious. Struggled to parse 10A, had to google to find out the historical background.

  3. Several tricky clues (good) but wish the surfaces of some of the clues were better.

  4. Enjoyed solving the puzzle! I like the new Bonus submission form – much better experience than the prior 2-part submission.
