Financial Times no.14,296 by Dogberry
Posted by Ringo on 25th April 2013
I’m seldom at my best when I have to call on my scanty reserves of French to complete a crossword, and Dogberry made me do it not once but twice this morning. Still, I muddled through, and in the end I found this very enjoyable, with a handful of lovely charades and Russian dolls and, at 26dn, even a spot of smut to round things off. Thanks, Dogberry.

Financial Times 14,295 by Monk
Posted by PeeDee on 24th April 2013
An easier than usual puzzle from Monk, he has taken pity on us this week. Having said that there is still one I cannot explain, so any help appreciated. Enjoyable to solve as always, thank you Monk.

Financial Times 14294 Gaff
Posted by scchua on 23rd April 2013
This was trickier than the usual Tuesday FT. So much so that I had to get help from a better solver than I, to complete it, which partly accounts for the slightly later blog. There is a 9across of proper or potentially proper names and some chess references, but if there’s a ghost theme it’s gone over my head. Thanks Gaff. I enjoyed solving, and writing the blog too. 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.14,290 by Gurney
Posted by Ringo on 18th April 2013
Good morning, all. A pleasant enough puzzle from Gurney today, although, for me, a surfeit of anagrams made it something of a plod. No problems, though, and one or two very nice clues – so thank-you, Gurney.

Financial Times 14,281 – Armonie
Posted by Sil van den Hoek on 18th April 2013
Monday Prize Crossword/Apr 8
While I was expecting a Crux puzzle, I got an Armonie instead. Some think he is too easy and/or really worth a Monday, but I think differently. Despite the fact that nothing is too tricky, Armonie (just like Chifonie at another place) is Mr Smooth himself. Perhaps this was a five-minute-affair for some of ye, for me it wasn’t plain sailing at all. Good crossword.

Financial Times 14,289 by Cinephile
Posted by PeeDee on 17th April 2013
I found this quite easy to solve yet very satisfying in the process. Loads of variety and interest and fresh ideas, how does he keep it up? I am continually astonished at Cinephile/Araucaria’s output.

Posted by scchua on 16th April 2013
In the last Crux I blogged I made the comment that there were some very nice surfaces. The same comment applies today. Thanks to Crux. Definitions are underlined in the clues. [[The pictures at the bottom between them have 3 unidentified links to the puzzle. There's a setter's device involved in one of the pictures. Please enclose any comments on them in double brackets. Thank you.]]
