It’s Wednesday. Which means it’s Dac. Which means it’s the usual excellence and nary a thing to complain about. I loved it all, but special mentions for 9A and 6D. Read the rest of this entry »

Easier than the last AARDVARK puzzle I blogged, but no less enjoyable. My favourite was 29 across which made me smile, 13 across is good too. Also, I got throught he whole thing without having to resort to the dictionary once, which makes a nice change!

A fairly typical Chifonie, with a lot of quite obvious clues. There’s a preponderance of charade clues, with 13 out of 28 being of that type, including 10 out of 14 acrosses: rather an excessive proportion I think, variety being the spice of crosswords as well as of life. Still, all the clueing is sound, with the exception of a familiar bugbear of mine at 13dn, so a pleasant if unchallenging solve.

Ifor is a new compiler for the Inquisitor but he has had four crosswords published in The Magpie and one published in the Telegraph Enigmatic Variations series, all in the last two years. I think I have completed at least one of his/her Magpies and enjoyed the experience.
