I’ve blogged only four of these crosswords so far and think they’re improving. Initially there seemed to be a few rough edges, but now everything works well and I hardly make any criticisms here. People tend to point out long clues that rhyme or are in some way alliterative, but I often don’t notice these and a quick glance doesn’t show me anything in this crossword. What I do notice is that there is always so far as I can see a mention of Everyman somewhere in the clues; and I have noticed what has been mentioned, the obligatory first letters clue.
Definitions in crimson, underlined. Indicators (anagrams, hidden, first letters, etc) in italics.
