I post a clue daily in Twitter (https://twitter.com/somsram), WA and 1ACross.org. Here’s the clue for today.

Note: This will be the last clue in this series since I plan to take a break. Hope you enjoyed solving daily clues in the blog.

I wanted to gauge the response if I moved this away from a specific social media channel. So in June 2023, I started sharing the clues through the blog. While it was easier for administration, I must say that I missed the interaction.

Do comment and share your feedback too.
