Hello everyone,
Got back today, but managed to get to grips with this weeks EV quite easily. Managed to populate the grid apart from the adjusted lights. Then rather stumbled upon how the "definition only" clues were adjusted. Reference to the BRB for the 11 letter shading then pointed me to 10 letter shading! A word I had never heard, despite being a player, albeit quite amateur of the GAME!
I thought that some of the shading possibilities that made the end game amusing, BAT and BALL diverted me for a while!
