Deаr Puzzling,

Today I walked in an unbelievable tropical palm forest. I’ve seen black parrots, bizarre lizards, and frogs climbing on bushes rising the largest coconuts I’ve ever seen.

Today’s puzzle is hexagonal cryptic crossword. “Around” clues kind a clockwise spiral beginning at the #1 on the left-hand aspect of the grid. “Candy cane” clues begin from the numbered cell and comply with the colored squares throughout the grid, every together with the purple central cell and persevering with on the opposite aspect. Answers are positioned within the order given, one after the opposite, with no areas. Answer lengths have been omitted.

There are two units of clues for every sweet cane color. One set produces the right solutions, which should be written within the grid; the opposite clue set produces mistaken solutions the place solely some of the letters match the remainder of the solutions. Can you guess the place I’m?

Love, Gladys.
