U75 - A Crossword

[belboid]

Apologies to anyone who does the Guardian (or any other 'proper') crossword for the state of my grid. All I can say is my admiration for setters has increased significantly!

You will note that there is both an across and a down Clue 3 (not starting in the same square). Yes, I know, but just couldn't be arsed to fix it. You're all clever, you'll work it out.

There is an excel file available if anyone wants, it might make it easier to keep up to date with where you/we are. (I'll add updates as necessary)

NOTE: Altho this is a crossWORD - numbers and symbols may well be involved as well, if they occur in a users name

Across
1​	The mixed couple sat, edited out
3​	Panhandler is rude about Mrs McKinley (Idaho)
5​	Foreign (noun)
8​	Bizarrely, he said toes
9​	Holy films bless Bros
11​	A dragon for this confused year.
14​	What magicians do?
15​	An itch in Yorkshire horse
16​	She comes between the Royal and the Savoy
18​	Not ginger tea, baby tea, sporty tea or scary tea, but....
20​	Sounds like a scouse rogue, with NOS?
21​	Not Voley on acid (although you might want to check)

Down
2​	ddraig may produce it (SmokeandSteam)
3​	In Wales they are indistinct about Pope Felix
4​	Hawkwind led the Ḥashassins
6​	Ten escape without their cloak (Xes)
7​	Nearly always preceded by the Foreign Office
10​	I hate them grey bastards (Red Squirrel)
12​	We dont listen to a word he (its always a he) says
13	Local talk is his speciality
17​	None more Roman than stuffed Randists
19​	Does a sterling job, mercifully

Is there anyway you can make one that can be played online? I have no idea so excuse me if the idea is a daft one.

Not at all daft, I have been trying!

Most don't let you put in numbers, and the only one I found where you could actually has the entire set of clues and answers in its URL! The other ones were okay, but you can't move answers around if you see something better than their algorithm came up with (if you see what I mean). And they come out even more ridiculous shapes than this! You can get 'proper' grids (15x15 with reflective quarters) which would be shareable, but they are just unbelievably hard to set.

I could possibly make one in Google Sheets that could be updateable.

[belboid]

Can you see/edit this@ -

 

[planetgeli]

Can you see/edit this@ -

I can see it but not edit it. I can click sheet 2 sheet 3 but that's all.

And you meant 13d not 13a btw

 

[chilango]

13 across Dialectician?

 

[belboid]

The link is: https:// docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ 1szOaQEtY-PdX0H58UQr9PTKPvuMR4TH0FOpdpIBlyc0/edit#gid=829001861 without the spaces, if that helps

It updates the image shown in Post 10 automatically

But, piss off and cook you dinner now and let everyone else have a go

Where's the symmetry

I definitely didn't put 17 when I meant 18 for an across clue.
