Financial Times 14,343 / Monk

Posted by Gaufrid on 19th June 2013

Gaufrid.

When PeeDee asked me to stand in for him today my initial though was “I hope I get a puzzle that I can get my teeth into” and I even considered the possibility of it being a Monk, one of my favourite setters. I was not disappointed!

Ringo.

Cryptic crosswords don’t come much more straightforward than this morning’s offering from Jason (a  hiccup at 27ac. excepted). Smart, tidy, by-the-book and breezily enjoyable – thank-you, Jason.

Financial Times 14,329 – Crux

Posted by Sil van den Hoek on 13th June 2013

Sil van den Hoek.

Monday Prize Crossword/June 3

A pleasant puzzle by Crux which contained a bit more cryptic-flavoured definitions than usual.  But as my best friends know, it is perhaps my favourite device …….. :)  [is it?].  That said, I fear here there (but not everywhere) I can do with a little help from my friends.

Financial Times 14,337 by Gozo

Posted by PeeDee on 12th June 2013

PeeDee.

Super themed puzzle from Gozo but consumed in a bit of a rush today as I was very late getting started, a shame that I did not have time to savour this puzzle more.  Thank you Gozo.

Financial Times 14336 Gurney

This was a really enjoyable puzzle for me – not too easy as to be over quickly, and not too difficult as to require long pauses.  On the other hand, progress was smooth and even right through.  Thanks, Gurney.  Definitions are underlined in the clues.

Financial Times 14330 Neo

Posted by scchua on 4th June 2013

scchua.

This looked daunting at first pass, but it proceeded quite well after that. There are some inter-related answers and clues. The over-riding link for these seems to be 2 wars, the Trojan War and the American Civil War. I wonder if there is something to it? Thanks to Neo. Definitions are underlined in the clues.
