Preamble
Seventeen answers require a familiar
modification prior to entry. Enumeration refers to entry lengths.
Solution
In accordance with the title of monthly
publication CROZWORLD, every instance of OSS must be replaced by OZ in order
for the solutions to fit the grid. This
puzzle is also a pangram.
Unfortunately, many solvers solvers missed the gimmick and merely replaced OSS with OS. Therefore the adjudicator for CrOZworld decided that it would be unfair to mark these as incorrect.
Feedback
Theme was exposed early; actually helping with the subsequent solving.
A pity about the obsolete words and uncommon abbreviations; but still good fun.
Len Colgan
Tricky theme. Shakespearean; Scottish; obsolete and obscure words.
Difficult clues. Little relief in this one but still a great puzzle. Andrew Patterson
What a challenge. Not sure what the title had to do with removing an S
though. Lots of old/obsolete references made the task even more difficult. Very
enjoyable. Ulla Axelsen
Excellent puzzle. I produced a lot of Zs but was wide awake throughout.

You have slot 6 but it should be slot 7!! Marian Procter
I thoroughly enjoyed this one; many thanks. Julie Crowe
Well; that was different! Bit hard to check the spelling as well. Some
tough clues didn't help but we got there in the end. We got a bit croz on
occassions though. Richard Skinner
No use putting this one through the spell-checker! What a feat of
compilation to find 17 words where OZ replaces
OSS - on some cases with the Z a checked
letter. Nea Storey
