Financial Times no.14,320 by Peto

Posted by Ringo on 23rd May 2013

Ringo.

A breeze of a puzzle, this one, really, but still, a pleasant diversion on a rather bleak morning in England. One or two clues didn’t quite satisfy, but all-in-all no real grumbles – thank-you, Peto.

Financial Times 14,311 – Dante

Posted by Sil van den Hoek on 23rd May 2013

Sil van den Hoek.

Monday Prize Crossword/May 13

An enjoyable Dante puzzle which confirmed his love for cryptic (and double) definitions. About half of the clues fell into that category. And then there was 15ac.  Just two weeks ago I failed on the very same word.  Not this time though.  Won’t get fooled again  :-) .

Financial Times 14318 Gaff

Posted by scchua on 21st May 2013

scchua.

This looked daunting at first, with only scattered solutions on the first pass.  But it got better as quadrant by quadrant was completed.  After the last Gaff I blogged, where I couldn’t identify the theme, I resolved not to repeat the failure.  And this time I did spot the theme, partly because it is more internationally known, and more easily spottable.  Thanks to Gaff for the enjoyment.  Definitions are underlined in the clues. [[The pictures at the bottom have unidentified links to the puzzle. Please enclose any comments on them in double brackets. Thank you.]]

Financial Times no.14,314 by Alberich

Posted by Ringo on 16th May 2013

Ringo.

An outstanding puzzle today from Alberich, by turns fiendish, witty, inventive and fun. The glut of highbrow allusions – Gerontius? Idomeneo? Borodin? – did make me blanch at first, but once I made a start I found nothing to complain about, and plenty to enjoy. Thanks, Alberich.

Financial Times 14312 Phssthpok

Posted by scchua on 14th May 2013

scchua.

This was an enjoyable puzzle to solve and to blog.  There is a scientific mini-theme, especially of particle physics (and a bit of biology and chemistry), in the answers and clues, plus a couple of non-scientific/unscientific Biblical references.  Thanks to Phssthpok.  Definitions are underlined in the clues. [[The pictures at the bottom have unidentified links to the puzzle. Please enclose any comments on them in double brackets. Thank you.]]
