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.

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.

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.

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.]]

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.

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.

A really tough puzzle from Monk, as hard as you will find in any of the UK daily papers. I got there in the end.

Another enjoyable offering from Jason; thanks to him. Definitions are underlined in the clues. [[The pictures at the bottom have inidentified links to the puzzle.]]

I was hoping for something easy and breezy to see me off on my Easter hols, so my heart sank when I saw that Gozo was treating us to a themed puzzle – and it sank even further when I figured out what that theme was.

Monday Prize Crossword/Mar 18
A fairly typical Dante puzzle which can be found here. That said, not that many cryptic definitions this time. Much to my advantage.
