I am always pleased to get Monk to blog, this one a little easier than some of his recent Wednesday offereings but still no pushover. Clever clues as always, thank you Monk.

An enjoyable cruise from Aardvark. I’m glad this was not too difficult as I had forgotten today is Wednesday and got off to a very late start with my blog.

Smooth surfaces, witty definitions and sound clues. I thought this was straightforward and accessible without ever being dull. I suspect this is much harder to achieve than it sounds. Thank you Dogberry.

Guardian Prize Puzzle 25,700 by Crucible
Posted by PeeDee on 4th August 2012
I started off excited when I saw the puzzle had special instructions, then deflated when I guessed both the special down clues from the letter counts without even reading the clues, then gradually bouyed up again as the rest of the crossword turned out to be rather good after all. Thanks Crucible.

Financial Times 14,059 by Styx
Posted by PeeDee on 18th July 2012
I don’t think I have blogged Styx before. I enjoyed this and although it was straightforward I did not find it easy. The challenge with Styx seems to be interpreting the subtle definitions and misdirections rather than untangling convoluted wordplay.

This was mostly straighforward but with just a few much harder clues thrown in to the mix.

I liked this very much, some really great clues, so many it would be unfair to pick a favourite. But I will anyway: 26 across it is.

Quite an easy one today. Enjoyable, but I would have liked something more to get my teeth into. Thanks Gozo ;)

I found this difficult. I got off to a flying start, filling half the grid in no time, but then ground to a complete halt. After that it was hard going all the way to the end.
