Guardian 24,795 / Orlando
Posted by Eileen on 3rd September 2009
Nothing too taxing or controversial here, I think, but the usual good value from Orlando, with some clever surfaces and a few smiles along the way.

Financial Times 13,172 / Mudd
Posted by Gaufrid on 3rd September 2009
Some people may be unhappy with one or two of the definitions (eg 12a & 6d) and the number of double/cryptic definitions but I enjoyed this puzzle because in each corner there were some relatively easy clues to get one started and some more difficult ones to get one thinking. I rather liked 4a and 14d though some of the other surfaces left a little to be desired. In 27a, ‘pond life that’s croaked’ immediately had me thinking of yesterday’s ‘literary washerwoman’ (but not for long).

Posted by Pete Maclean on 3rd September 2009
Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of August 22
I enjoyed Mudd’s slightly unconventional 11A. I also like 3D and 20D.
