Possibly the weirdest solving experience I’ve ever had. I blogged a Punk a couple of months ago, and really enjoyed it. That one was pretty straightforward, but this one … well, tell me what you think.

A straightforward Quiptic, nicely pitched. The key to a quick solve are the 4 long answers horizontally and vertically around the centre. One of them was a new word to me, though the examples of what it stands for are quite familiar. I liked the surface of 18A, 2D, 16D, 17D, and 18D, the latter 3 with an adult content (as they say). Thanks Pan. Definitions are underlined in the clues. There are hidden connections in 2 of the picture sets.

A pleasant Rufus puzzle to start the week, with the expected succinctly elegant surfaces and touches of wry humour, with a liberal sprinkling of double definitions. There are a couple of old favourite prison-related clues at 6dn and 11dn but one or two clues which needed a bit more thinking about. Many thanks, Rufus, for starting the day with a few smiles.

Even for a Cyclops, this one abounded in anatomical references. A fairly quick solve for me — nothing in the clues really held me up. Read the rest of this entry »
