Sunday rolls around and it’s Filbert in his weekly slot, albeit differing days
Everyman 4,032
A sound and good crossword from Everyman. Long ago the idea of this being an entry level crossword seems to have been abandoned and some of the clues, like 1ac, are rather tricky. But it all seems to be sound, and one could argue that that is more important. 3dn and 7dn are a rhyming pair (I can’t find any others) and there are the usual self-referential and first letters clues.
Definitions underlined, in crimson. Indicators (homophone, hidden, reversal, etc) in italics. Link-words in green. Anagrams indicated (thus)* or *(thus).
Guardian Genius No 247 by Qaos
Not as difficult as some recent Genius puzzles, but how does The Guardian expect you to comply with the requirements of the preamble?
Azed No. 2,693 – Plain
A headscratcher from Azed.
