The reason is simple - I was not looking for it in the past.<br /><br />It could be - or not!<br /><br />There is no accompanying note that all the letters of the alphabet have been used at least once (as in a certain puzzle in a certain Indian newspaper, without the grid not being equal to the declaration) but, as you have shrewdly observed, this HC is indeed a pangram.<br /><br />Note to solvers generally: UK crosswords are often pangrams (with a particular setter producing it repeatedly) and bloggers often say that if you see certain letters - J, Q, X, Z - you might suspect a pangram and from then on it&#39;s a question of checking the grid for the presence at least once of all the 26 letters.Chaturvasihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00284780490945841507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025878547150944281.post-16377253916630251552009-12-21T09:08:03.471+05:302009-12-21T09:08:03.471+05:30I solved the grid but did not notice anything unusual!! It takes Suchi to point-out. Did you not show us how to count the alphabets in a crossword sometime back? Not that I will ever do it. Not that serious about crosswords!Sridharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03441258241181592913noreply@blogger.com
