Clues are included from the two clue writers whom I consider pre-eminent during their respective eras, and no competitor is represented more than once. There is also a 1994 clue from Azed which shows him on top form, while the rest of the clues are mine &#8211; among them are a slight variation on the entry which scored my first ever HC (in 2008) and a later competition clue which was returned to me by Azed &#8211; much to my chagrin &#8211; with a&nbsp;blatant typo circled in red ink! I hope you enjoy the puzzle, regardless of whether you are relatively new to Azed or you remember all the successful entries reproduced here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For a printable PDF version of this puzzle, click <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clueclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deza%20Vu%20Puzzle.pdf\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To view the solution (with explanations and identification of the prize winning clues) as a PDF, click <a href=\"http:\/\/clueclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deza Vu Solution.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>With thanks to John Tozer for his superb Azed archive, to be found at andlit.org.uk<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-crossword-crossword-block\"><div class=\"ccpuz_container\" style=\"width:100%\"><div id=\"CrosswordCompilerPuz\"><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A puzzle celebrating 48 years of Azed competitions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1213,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"yasr_overall_rating":0,"yasr_post_is_review":"","yasr_auto_insert_disabled":"","yasr_review_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-azed-2500"],"yasr_visitor_votes":{"stars_attributes":{"read_only":false,"span_bottom":false},"number_of_votes":0,"sum_votes":0},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1247"}],"version-history":[{"count":24,"href":"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1247\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1295,"href":"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1247\/revisions\/1295"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clueclinic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
