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.

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.

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.]]

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.

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.

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.

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.]]
