Non-conformist by Nimrod
CAM 103's crossword celebrated fashionable individuals and non-conformists.
A redundant letter is given by the wordplay in each clue: in clue order, these letters spell hints to the identities of four similarly fashionable individuals who are concealed in the final grid and who must be highlighted in a colour of the solver’s choice, together with an appropriate adjective. A fifth individual, who does not conform, must be highlighted in a different colour, together with a different adjective. Where individuals overlap, the nonconformist’s colour takes precedence. In total, 65 cells are to be highlighted.
Two answers are abbreviations. The Chambers Dictionary (2016) and The Oxford Dictionary of English (2015) are recommended.
