Guardian 24,684/Arachne
Posted by Andrew on 27th April 2009
A non-Rufus Monday with a puzzle from Arachne that I found quite hard going, with some very involved wordplay. There are a couple of clues that I still don’t understand, but I’m sure commenters will soon point out how obvious they are..

Private Eye/Cyclops 389 – Mock election
Posted by beermagnet on 27th April 2009
One of those where I couldn’t get the last couple for days. 22D was the bugbear. The eureka moment when I finally thought of RAG for “mock” was nice, but I’m glad I didn’t have to blog this as a daily because there’s no way I could’ve got this without coming back to it fresh. I suspect that’s where I differ from the fast or competitive solvers – sometimes when I get stuck on a clue and can’t see it what it’s saying from the right perspective, I need a big long break in order to look at it anew without going down the same train of thought yet again.
