Never knowingly undersolved
Cracking puzzle from Io. There were many of WTF? moments in this puzzle where I had no idea at all about what was going on. Thankfully it (mostly) became clear in the end. Overall this was pretty tough! Thanks Io .
There are still a a couple that I can’t quite get to the bottom of. Any help with the finishing touches appreciated.
Enjoyable but not too tough, with the left hand side going in very quickly. Favourites 3dn and 17dn. Thanks Brummie.
I am usually trying to write a clue in some clue-writing competition or other; and it is nearly always tortuous. In Dac’s case none of his clues are tortuous: they all seem to be perfectly natural, and they always have a simple and strong surface. Why it should be that the words Dac clues are so different from those that I try to clue is beyond me. Actually they’re not: it’s just that he is rather better at it than I am.
