A late-night log-on to the FT site revealed that my first blog here would be devoted to one of Cinephile’s thematic puzzles in the series “XX has the same meaning throughout”: in other words, a daunting, albeit highly entertaining, prospect in store. True to form, Cinephile did not disappoint. A lovely way to end my Tuesday and start my Wednesday!

We were also told that appropriate assistance (if needed) may be found in the grid.
