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. mdm.bla 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. mdm.bla 20:01, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I've been bold and changed it to your suggestion, Bri. I don't think we need to wait for the say so of one individual when there's an obvious error and a suggested solution. - SchroCat (talk) 07:44, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
It does indeed seem that I completely fucked up at some point during formatting this, and created an unsolvable crossword... in my attempt to add a couple short words to make it more solvable. big sorries... glad it got fixed 😭 jp×g🗯️ 21:15, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
