Best tip I’ve heard for hidden word clues is to hide, when possible, the solution in a way where the word is not only well hidden but also pronounced differently.
Then again, my own favorite hidden does not quite satisfy this tip: Drink some espresso daily (4)

Is there a way to post this type of grid online, interactively?

It’s probably better on paper anyway, but just curious. Thank you.

Say hello to our still unnamed new puppy
”Nina” and “1-Across” made it past the first round only. What do you think her name is? She knows but hasn’t told us yet.

There are some tremendous and extremely fun clues in here.
If you can't wait for next week, @joeadultman.bsky.social and I teamed up to write a festive full-sized variety puzzle that @juffowup.bsky.social was kind enough to take the paywall down for, if you're so inclined to check it out!

Match tense, perhaps injured Alex Roeg down 0-40 (5) 🎾
I’m reminded of a wonderful MyC puzzle from maybe 6 months ago consisting entirely of “greatest hits“ clues each with a classic type of setter’s mistake. The #?
(Minor sins here are: fake proper name, an iffy anagrind, and maybe an iffy DBE.)

Very nice write-up, @unchcrosswords.com!
With The Times and Sunday Times and our competitors each producing several crosswords a day, you might think there was enough grid-based wordplay to satisfy even the most hardened addicts. So who would launch a specialist crossword magazine into this crowded market — and a printed one at that?
