Everyman 3447/28 October

Posted by Pierre on 4th November 2012

Pierre.

Another nicely constructed and accessible puzzle from Everyman.  One or two chestnuts, but – in the UK at least – it’s getting to that chestnutty time of year, and in a puzzle aimed at improving solvers, I don’t think we can cavil at that.

Everyman N° 3,445 (14 October)

Posted by PeterO on 21st October 2012

PeterO.

The odd less common reference, the inevitable bit of geography, notably coherent surfaces – what more can one say? Everyman continues to produce crosswords which are not pitched too high for most beginners, but have enough spice to satisfy more experienced solvers.

Everyman 3443/30 September 2012

Posted by Pierre on 7th October 2012

Pierre.

I invariably enjoy solving and blogging an Everyman crossword.  As always, a good variety of devices on display.  This morning there were two words that I was unfamiliar with, but which I shall store away for future use.  Both were eminently gettable from the wordplay, though.

Everyman 3439

Posted by Pierre on 9th September 2012

Pierre.

I found this one a bit tougher than your usual Everyman.  It’s all clearly indicated as always, so perhaps it was just me having a bit of an off day.  There were as normal some lovely surface readings.  Because this puzzle is aimed at improving solvers, I’ve tried to give full explanations.  If you happen to be one of those improving solvers who haven’t commented yet, please feel free to tell us what you thought.

Everyman 3435/5 August 2012

Posted by Pierre on 12th August 2012

Pierre.

Another Sunday, another fine Everyman puzzle.  ‘What’s new?’ I hear you say.  Well, for this solver, a meaning of a familiar word that I’d never come across before.  A day that goes by where you don’t learn something is a day wasted, as our mam used to say.
