7/10 a hee-hee grid for me. Got the monkeys but couldn't think of a suitable answer for geo-climatic zones. TY Sooz

Can't believe you didn't get the rest of the monkeys clues, over thinking maybe...lol....it's only from my inferior brain remember :-))

Really....missing words that have a connection among themselves. A bit silly.

Oh Pat, did you get out of the wrong side of bed this morning? just read a comment you left on someone else's grid where you complained about it being overly clever and now my grid is a bit silly, you're hard to please aren't you!

Yes, I just like decent composed puzzles.....

@ Pat, have looked for one of your grids to see how it should be done but not found anything, maybe you submit under a different name?

@ Soozy - It isn't one of my nomme de guerre LOL

A fantastically satisfying grid! Stylish and not overly complicated. More and more I'm impressed with your work Soozy! Lovely varied, unpredictable topics within an overarching theme, which is difficult to pull off. Keep up the good work :)

Great work! Creative and original

Nice twist
