Never knowingly undersolved
Location! Location! Location?…The title of ADDRESS, and three references to ‘locations’ in the preamble, suggest that there is some sort of geographical theme, or postcode lottery, going on…or are we being led up … Read more >>
I must admit to a bit of a double take on seeing Phi’s name crop up on a Saturday, and worried I’d got hold of the wrong puzzle. Or indeed had lost track … Read more >>
Apparently there’s nothing enigmatic about this title’s puzzle. I am reliably informed that internet-only EVs like this one (of which there have been 8) are numbered differently.
The preamble is clearly written, but there appear to be a number of challenges in the way of the solver – mainly various issues resulting from a surfeit of letters to inhabit the cells. I’m making my way through my stocking as I start this, so let’s hope there’s a nice way in to this puzzle…

Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of December 31, 2016
This morning’s puzzle is not available on the FT website yet. I will give it some time before I go out and trying to find somewhere with a paper copy of the FT.
What a palaver! The puzzle was not on the FT website today and the paper copy contains two mistakes in the grid, and one clue I cannot solve. A special thank you to Stephen for posting a scanned image of the puzzle that enabled me to write this post.
This is our first Eccles blog – as far as we can tell, it is only the 4th Eccles puzzle to feature in the Indy. It was all good fun, with several … Read more >>
