Editor's note: at some point in the last few months, something happened somewhere that made the Signpost crossword templates render a little off. I have attempted to fix it; let me know if it is rendering properly. jp×g 🗯️

Editor's note²: It seems for the moment that andrybak has resolved the lingering issues — big if true.

Are you sure this works OK? The answer to 9A cannot be "ENE", but it must be if 4D ends with "...ED" - SchroCat (talk) 12:49, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Spoilers (highlight to reveal): 9A can be ENE if 7D is XEXER, which is a valid response to that clue. md m.b la 17:12, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The point is "ENE" is an incorrect answer, it should be END (and 7D is XEXEM). - SchroCat (talk) 17:14, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@JPxG: I think SchroCat is correct. What do you think of changing the 9A clue to Direction from Jimbo's birthplace to the newer Wikimedia subnational chapter? ☆ Bri (talk) 19:58, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

After going back and redoing the puzzle, I erred in my answer to 11A which cascaded to 7D; I also agree with SchroCat that something odd is going on here. md m.b la 20:01, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
