Financial Times 14,224 by Monk
Posted by PeeDee on 30th January 2013
Great stuff from Monk. Challenging as always, new words and unfamiliar definitions of old ones with plenty of misdirection to send us down the wrong track. Thank you Monk.

Guardian 25,858 – Gordius
Posted by Andrew on 30th January 2013
There seemed to be less to nitpick about here than I usually find in Gordius puzzles, but not a great deal to get excited about either, with a lot of very easy clues, some rather weak cryptic definitions, and a bit of obscure knowledge needed to confirm the parsing of 28a.

Independent 8204 / Crosophile
Posted by duncanshiell on 30th January 2013
This is Crosophile’s first weekday outing of the year in the Independent series. We got our money’s-worth today with 32 clues. My experience of blogging the Independent is that 32 clues is the exception rather than the rule.

Inquisitor 1265: A-trocity by Shark
Posted by duncanshiell on 30th January 2013
Shark has set a number of Inquisitor puzzles and each has been very satisfying. I blogged one focused on Socrates and his comment that he didn’t know there were so many things he could do without. Having glanced at many catalogues and websites over the Christmas period, I can tell him that nothing has changed.
