Posted by Ali on 30th December 2010
This was something of a tour de force from Anax. It was also incredibly difficult!

Smiffy has been caught up in the aftermath of the recent blizzards in the US and is still trying to get home after his Christmas break so you will have to put up with me again today.

Crux delighted us with this selection which included some creative and amusing cryptic definitions. There are also a few devices which I have not seen before. Good stuff !

Guardian 25,206 – Pasquale
Posted by Andrew on 30th December 2010
A welcome return for Pasquale after nearly two months’ absence. The Christmas gremlins are still crawling around the Guardian site, meaning this puzzle was available 24 hours early, so I had plenty of time for solving and writing the blog. However it was quite a gentle one – a lot easier that some of Pasquale’s recent puzzles. As promised last week, I’d like to wish you all a very happy and crossword-filled New Year, and I hope to meet some of you at the Derby meeting in a few weeks’ time.

Financial Times 13,572 by Mudd
Posted by Pete Maclean on 30th December 2010
Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of December 18
Another fine Mudd with, what was for me, a slightly difficult top-right corner. My favourite clues here are 13A (AFORESAID), 28A (NO FEAR) and 20D (LULU).
