Monday prize Crossword/Apr 22
Another sound puzzle by Armonie who seems to have taken over from the slightly more adventurous Crux as a Prize setter.

It is Wednesday today, and yet we are not crossing swords with either Dac or Crosophile? How can this be? Have I slept right through Wednesday and missed my blogging slot altogether?

Another very entertaining puzzle [squeaky-clean today!] from Paul, with some clever clues, as usual, providing a number of smiles along the way. Many thanks for the fun, Paul – I really enjoyed it

Twelve across and thirteen down clues have a single letter misprinted in their definitions, the correct letters being different in each case. A description of the “missing” letter, symmetrically disposed, must be highlighted in the completed grid.

Another enjoyable puzzle from Tuesday regular, Peto. Thanks Peto. 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.]]

Alchemi is one of the newer setters on the Independent block. This was a pleasant solve without too many pitfalls.

I careered through this puzzle merrily until the very last clue and I am still wondering. Otherwise, an easy-going puzzle today

I enjoyed this puzzle, but it was a bit tricky for a Quiptic. According to some of the comments on the Guardian website it is more challenging than today’s Rufus.

Lots of neat, well-written clues as ever from Quixote. I particularly liked the &lit of 6 and and the apposite surface reading of 22.

The usual Rufus style, which was pretty much a write-in for me today, though I’m puzzled by the construction of 20d. Not any more – see comments Read the rest of this entry »

I smiled at the double-light in column 12 of the grid when it revealed itself. That’s what us crossword fans want isn’t it – a spot of light enlightening.

Well I never. It has been a while, but this was a rare unaided finish for your blogger. I suspect the enforced discipline of tackling the puzzle over a quiet pint or two up in SE19, without easy access to references, helped matters. That said, a few more stubborn entries held out until the following evening.
