Friday Foxer #163

Every Friday, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers. All are welcome to participate.

The honeycomb below is a fancy form of wordsearch in which every cell is used, and words can curl and zigzag but never overlap. Each hive foxer has a theme (some past ones: owls, rugby, Egypt, UFOs…). Identifying the theme is a vital part of the defoxing process. Today’s puzzle is composed of 18 answers.

  1. A7 WIFE BEATER
    (which leaves F12 OWL…)

    (Another of the errata, apparently – ‘being in subjection unto their owl husbands’

  2. I had ACST left but it turns out that I’d used the wrong T on RED LETTER. That was a stupid waste of 5 minutes on my part!
