I've pushed a new release of Exet, my free, open source software for #crossword construction, with some assistive features for #cryptic clues.
This release, for English, mainly expands the vocabulary, now at 268,740 entries instead of 250,192.
This is the first Exet release to feature support for two languages other than English!
Listen to ' latest #OffGridPod, then buy tickets to the musical (unless you have any taste). Yes, there really is 1. https://mastodon.social/@skirwingle/110327901604959404
Ah, Bond, come in. I want you to listen to #OffGridPod to find out whose idea this mission was in the first place. https://offgrid.tlmb.net/2023/05/07/ox-tree-documents-ep-34/
Oh, Moa cross-posting broke. :-/
Amazing stuff. County Championship #cricket is the best.

Just voted & discovered that you can make an official complaint about requirement for photo ID at the vote - election officers will take down your complaint, name & address & pass it to the elections teams... so please folks - have your say!
Please, if you do this, be kind to election staff- they're doing a thankless task & are likely to get a lot of trouble today. If you have to wait when it's busy, wait kindly.
The election folks are not those at fault!!
@Sh41 LOL! (& good luck.)
The solution and explainers for this #cryptic #crossword #puzzle are up now at https://tlmb.net/blog/solution-to-stew/
^Sample clue:
Offspring of Special One seeks promotion on board (5)
Sometimes there's a theme, either i. in* the clues, ii. in* the answers, iii. a mix of both, or iv. between the answers.
*(...some of)
#Cryptic #crossword clue formats:
A [Cryptic definition]
or
B [Def1]+[Def2]
or
C [Wordplay]+[Def] (or vice-versa)
