Just had a skim over On the Art of the Crossword: I don't see any specific edict against it, but the only time I can see it in use is in what he terms an "imperfect anagram", ie removing a letter from fodder and then anagramming it
![My next quoted clue I include with very strong reservations, because I regard its method as clumsy and definitely to be avoided, unless there is some strong compensating merit. Others, I think, use it much more readily than I do. This is the imperfect anagram, an anagram in which some letter or letters must be added or subtracted. The essence of an anagram is, I think, its completeness. This usage spoils it. However, here goes: “Clumsy tailors are, almost, of their work [9]”. The answer is
SARTORIAL: “almost”’ indicates that the final E of “are” must be disregarded. I’m not proud of it, but I passed it because I couldn’t resist the appropriateness of working tailors into an anagram.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qhtf4duemyvpl3nghoenlrqc/bafkreidi4gnbgedzs7g5reneodzxtknjftvjd3qadeqzobsz2uc4pujkwa@jpeg)
