This was one of the hardest Indy puzzles I’ve ever tackled. Only one answer entered on first run through as a tentative guess which, as the rest of the puzzle was solved, turned out to be wrong. Solving time, 116 mins. There are a few I do not fully understand.

This is just the level of difficulty I like on a Thursday – hard to crack into, but ultimately yielding its solutions with some persistence and nothing feeling ‘unfair’.

Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of August 9
Cinephile is in good form here with a puzzle that I found moderately easy but very satisfying. I particularly like 17A.
