Guardian 25,585 / Picaroon
Posted by Eileen on 16th March 2012
It’s always a little disconcerting to come across an unfamiliar setter’s name – particularly on a Friday, when we expect something more challenging, and even more so if you’re the one due to blog. I don’t recognise Picaroon’s name and s/he hasn’t made it to Michael Curl’s excellent Who’s Who yet. [One more slightly disconcerting thing is that a Picaroon - I know from crosswords - is a pirate, so could this possibly be a subterfuge by some setter that we already know and love?]

Independent 7931 / Phi

The Independent crossword that I blogged last week – the one by Hypnos with the whistleblower theme – generated a good deal of comment and controversy. I feel sure that this one will attract less controversy, but I hope it generates plenty of comment as it is the kind of puzzle that should be solvable or nearly solvable by many during the daily commute.
