Has Anax set for the Indy before? I don’t think so (waits to be proved wrong).
He sets for various publications, is a regular commenter here and has popped up at Sloggers’n'Betters events. He is one the least secretive setters on the web: http://www.ukpuzzle.com/anax.htm.

Not too often that Mudd makes a mid-week appearance, and this puzzle felt like a good (non-too-fiendish) fit for a summer’s Thursday.

Well, we knew that there was a one in three chance of getting a Nimrod before the week was out, so I braced myself for this and started late last night. I’ve been getting on better with his style recently, but found this one a bit of a chore and had to resort to help to finish it off. There seem to be a lot of clues with question marks here, and there’ll be a few in this blog too, so any help will be welcome! Read the rest of this entry »

I found this much harder than usual because of some items in the top half of the grid that were new to me and a silly mistake with 6 across which meant I did not get 6 down for ages. Solving time, 45 mins

Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of June 27
Often when solving a puzzle, I just see what is clearly the right answer to a clue without figuring out how it works. This is particularly true with Cinephile’s puzzles, perhaps because I have been doing them for so long, and was particularly true of this one. I particularly like 27A and am unsure about 3D.
