                        My apologies for the Confusion in the RHAYADER clue. Radnorshire town would have sufficed

                            What's the adjudication on Guy Profumo 's 7-letter rendering of the intended 8-letter solution? 'Salamed' is not a variant spelling that I can find, and the clue then relies on this.

                              Presumably a precedent has been established in these thousand pages?

                                I'd say that since the actual answer to the previous one is wrong (and as it was an anagram, there really isn't any good reason why it should be (wrong on anagram, wrong on actual word, wrong on letter count), either Guy should re-clue, or someone else should.

                                (But I think i am a bit of a stickler on these things. Others are far more forgiving of this kind of thing)

                                  How about this as a fix?

                                    That seems like a good way round it. Thanks IT

                                                  Huh, more computer weirdness - my "a" problem has cleared up, but I now get headphones ☊ when I type the letter "c", unless I go back and change it.
