We have to find eight 1-acrosses in the solutions, not otherwise defined. Not knowing which solutions were undefined made this a little trickier than usual but fortunately I had at least heard of all the 1-acrosses. Thanks Chalmie.

Dashed hard work for a Tuesday morning including one answer I’ve had to invent. But a fine anniversary puzzle from Gaff. Thanks to him.

Financial Times 15,762 – Crux
A Crux crossword was what I expected, a Crux crossword was what I got.
All fairly typical for this setter, a good start of the week.
Less typical was that I failed to complete the puzzle, missing out on one clue and not being able to fully understand another (and one more as it turned out to be).
