Entries to: Cross- word 1333, The Spectator, 56 Doughty Street, London WC1N 2LL.
Radial lights (20 from edge to centre, 20 vice versa) include eight words made from jumbles of consecutive letters in italicised wed- ding anniversaries. Definitions of these words are, in random order, of a kind temper newly hitched, shut in one striking arbour with hands full. A couple spliced in the innermost circuit, and five pos- sible factors (one of three words, one of two) in the circuit next to the outer one, read clockwise.
