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.

Financial Times 14288 Crux
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.]]

Financial Times no.14,284 by Orense
Posted by Ringo on 11th April 2013
Much to enjoy in this offering from Orense. Nothing too challenging, so a fairly quick solve, but a fun one, too. Yes, there’s a theme, which as regular readers (Sid and Doris Bonkers) will know usually sends me running for the high hills, but the theme in this case is broad enough to add a little colour without overwhelming the puzzle.

Financial Times 14,275 – Dante
Posted by Sil van den Hoek on 11th April 2013
Monday Prize Crossword/Apr 1
This Dante crossword was published on the 1st of April but lacked any topical clues. No references to the day, instead a lot of anagrams and the usual smoothness typical of this setter.

Financial Times 14,283 / Hamilton
Posted by Gaufrid on 10th April 2013
It makes a change to know in advance that I am going to cover a particular puzzle, rather than having to write a post at the last minute, and this is a temporary return to what used to be my regular Wednesday FT slot.

Financial Times 14282 Phssthpok
Posted by scchua on 9th April 2013
I’ve always enjoyed Phssthpok’s puzzles, but I enjoyed this one a bit less. I think it was partly due to the iffy/fuzzy definitions/synonyms. I still managed to finish it, though. So thanks to Phssthpok, and sorry if I didn’t do this justice. 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 14,278 / Sleuth
Posted by Gaufrid on 4th April 2013
My apologies for the late appearance of this post. I didn’t realise until about 3pm that the scheduled blogger hadn’t turned up. Fortunately this was a very quick solve (it took much longer to write the post!). Please excuse any typos but I have an optical migraine at the moment and cannot see the screen clearly.

Financial Times 14,270 – Falcon
Posted by Sil van den Hoek on 4th April 2013
Monday Prize Crossword/Mar 25
Enjoyable crossword by Falcon which, for some reason, I found slightly harder than usual. Good variety of devices (but no cryptic definitions!) and – as always – care for the surface, too. Four clues with the word ‘game’ in it today.
