Guardian Prize Puzzle 25,939 by Tramp
Posted by PeeDee on 10th May 2013
I used to find Tramp puzzles pretty tricky but I think I must be getting on to his wavelength at last. I have not seen any of the Star Wars movies but fortunately for me it was not necessary to know anything about them to get to the solutions. Thank you Tramp.

An easier than usual puzzle from Monk, he has taken pity on us this week. Having said that there is still one I cannot explain, so any help appreciated. Enjoyable to solve as always, thank you Monk.

Posted by PeeDee on 16th March 2013
A straightforward puzzle from Shed.
Like the last one of his I blogged there is nothing wrong with the puzzle, but there is nothing special here either. Is Shed getting a little tired of the crossword setting business? Read the rest of this entry »

I am a Gozo fan and always enjoy solving his puzzles learning much entirely useless information (the best kind) along the way.

I suspect this might disappoint anyone looking for a real challenge, but this morning it fit the bill for me perfectly. Thank you Dogberry. Read the rest of this entry »
