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.

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.

It took me a little casting about to find an easy entry into this puzzle, but once started, it fell into place handily.

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.

The puzzle includes one or two things which might be less well known to some, but I do not see any great difficulties. Read the rest of this entry »

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.

Another fine puzzle in the Everyman style, with plenty of good surfaces and elegant cluing. But I found this trickier than normal, with one phrase I had never come across before.
