Thanks to a much appreciated submission from a reader, Roman spent most of yesterday afternoon amongst squabbling sparrows, overdressed bumble bees, and peripatetic marbled whites rather than at his desk. My colleague added the odd word to the following hive foxer but the majority of it is the work of guest foxer setter, Colonel_K.
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.
