Crossword

... Send your solution to: Significance Crossword Competition, Royal Statistical Society, 12 Errol Street, London, EC1Y 8LX (photocopies are acceptable), or scan it and email to [email protected]. The competition is sponsored by Oxford University Press (academic.oup.com), who will give the winner £100 or $150 to spend on Oxford University Press books. Closing date: 20 November 2026. The winner will be chosen randomly from the correct entries, and the solution published in a future issue. Seven answers need to have a letter removed before being entered into the grid. In every case, both the response and the entry are common, uncapitalised words. The unclued entry at 18D gives an oral clue to the modifications. 1 “Bing” chimes, ringing on Sunday, beckoning Yule’s beginnings (6) 4 Ignorant when Second Navy leaves, and identically dressed (8) 10 Bus for football, maybe, finally arriving after absurd rant (9)
