Definitions

  1. The third-person singular form of misprint.

Used in a sentence

  • A few used TOAST (again with drinking connotations) as misprint for ROAST, failing to spot perhaps that it is itself a passable definition of SWEAL and therefore less effective, if acceptable at all, in a misprints clue.
  • Ximenes introduced several new types of crossword including 'Misprints' in which misprints occur in either the clues or the answers; he also started competitions for clue-setting which became very popular among solvers.
  • I had a go at setting more of his specialised crosswords and then one day I had the luck to hit the jackpot. I set a Misprints puzzle and, when he returned it, Ximenes enclosed a four page letter.
