Never knowingly undersolved
Serpent has been around for a year or two now, but I don’t think I have had the pleasure before. It seems that most people have found him on the hard side, but it looks as if I’ve had a fairly gentle introduction to him.
More &lits or near-&lits than I remember in a daily crossword. Clever of Serpent to get so many in.

Monday Prize Crossword / Mar 27, 2017
After Gaff’s impressive Vera Lynn Experience we are back in Dante’s playing area.
Nothing to be afraid of, some really nice clues, some ordinary ones, all at a level that serves the beginner (and me, too) well.
