Duplicate entries?

(1/1)

cranberry44:
I'd like to send a 21 X 21 to NYT but realized I've got "case" and "suitcase" in the same grid. Is this considered a "duplicate"?  "Suitcase" is part of a theme entry whereas "case" is part of the filler.

mmcbs:
CASE and SUITCASE definitely would be considered a dupe in crossword etiquette. I know some editors are not bothered by that, but I don't think Will Shortz is one of them. Might as well establish the habit of not submitting grids with dupes.

cranberry44:
Thanx, Mark. I'll redo that section.

cuhnkedrik:
In the context of crosswords, CASE and SUITCASE would most certainly be regarded a dupe. Some editors, I'm sure, wouldn't mind, but I don't think Will Shortz would be one of them.geometry dash
 It's probably a good idea to get out of the habit of submitting duplicate grids.
