  1. I have deleted comment #37 from the Quick Cryptic Special Rules blog and reposted it on the the Quick Cryptic 10 blog, where it looks as if it belongs. Comment as below:

    I got 2d, but I don’t really understand why. What do Republicans have to do with it? Spent a lot of time looking for the anagram…

  2. A quick question. On many sites, usernames can be rejected because they are already in use. Here there can be confusion caused by two posters using the same name. I actually first posted under the name MikeC but quickly changed to Hovis since this was a lot less likely to be used. Is it possible to stop new users using names already in use?

  3. Ensuring unique usernames requires site registration, which was never felt to be a necessity on this site.

    But I certainly wouldn’t rule out mandatory registration before commenting to be enabled in the future.

  4. I am really enjoying this helpful series of quick cryptics. My family did not do crosswords and although I saw a teacher doing one I had no insight into this mysterious activity. I am learning a lot but I do find ‘letter swaps’ challenging at the moment. Just wanted to say thank you.

  5. The latest two Guardian puzzle blogs (Boatman and Qaos) are rendering oddly in Safari, showing as a table and the comments aren’t visible.

  6. I found a wrong setting in Safari, corrected it and all is well. I hope I haven’t wasted anyone’s time investigating – apologies if I have.

  7. I’m flagging post 33 on the Quiptic blog this week for coming close to the line to contravening point 2 of the site policy.

    July 1, 2024 at 12:36 pm | Edit
    “DI” being clued as “Female” is absolutely unconscionable as far as I’m concerned.

    If the setter wants to clue a specific name, they should clue a specific name. Clueing “Man” to mean “Eric” or whatever is not satisfying in any regards.

    I haven’t deleted it (as blogger, I can) as I don’t recognise the poster so am giving what I hope is a first warning.

  8. Shanne@7. I don’t see that comment as being close to contravening site policy. Admittedly “unconscionable” is a strange way of expressing disapproval, but the fact that many people have expressed the same discomfort or dissatisfaction with that way of cluing means that it’s a common gripe, as well as a common cluing resort. Not allowing solvers to express their displeasure would negate one of the purposes of a site like this, to share our thoughts on the solve and on crosswords in general.

  9. Shanne @7, I entirely agree with sheffield hatter @8. I don’t think that the comment in question is remotely the sort of thing that point 2 of the site policy is aimed at. That paragraph is aimed at the sort of troll-like comments we occasionally get like “Worst crossword ever” or “No merit in this crossword at all” which make no attempt to specify reasons for dissatisfaction. In this case the commenter clearly says that they find a particular sort of cluing device unfair, and why.

    Please let’s not make the site intolerant of genuine points of view.

  10. Ding, ding.

    Return to your corners. Let’s not turn this into a Twitter-storm or an X-storm.

    I think the use of unconscionable is at question here.

    I think setters will continue to use man and woman (or equivalent pronouns) because they lend themselves to some good clues (and some bad ones)

    I’m sure that we could build a long list of likes and dislikes regarding crosswords clues. Let’s try to keep our opinions to ourselves in that regard.

  11. Thank you Admin.

    My response at the time, and still is, that although it appears (from comments I’ve read on the blogs), that man/he/boy and woman/girl/she cluing a male or female name (or abbreviated name) requires more clarification in American style crosswords, in UK/English crosswords it’s so common as to be a battle not worth fighting.

    I had also said when blogging that Quiptic blog, because a couple of names were used in that sort of context, that I accepted that this was a practice not always liked, but it was worth remembering because it came up a lot.

  12. kenmac and Shanne: fair enough, I do agree that the commenter’s use of the word “unconscionable” was a bit over the top. And just to be clear, I wasn’t actually agreeing with their comment, just saying that I don’t think it’s the sort of thing that should be subject to sanction under site policy. As sheffield hatter says, people often say that they’re not keen on a particular clue type, and we surely wouldn’t want to delete all such comments.

    While I’m on, can I mention that today’s Picaroon blog is still “uncategorised”, meaning it’s not on the Guardian page? Thanks.

  13. Lord Jim@9 and subsequently. Thanks for your support, and I don’t think it’s a matter of getting into a fight as Admin@10 implies. I fully support Shanne’s right to call out inappropriate comments, I just don’t think that this is one that needs calling out.

    We all have clue types that we don’t like and/or struggle with, it’s just a matter of how we express this. I always try to do so with a bit of humour and self-deprecation, but maybe others can’t manage this. We all need to take a breath before posting, re-read what we’ve just written and think how it might come across.

  14. American flag today? Nothing happening here then. Don’t think fifteen squared would come under the purdah rules 🙂

  15. I assume the image in the banner today is meant to represent American Independence Day, but I don’t really understand why Fifteensquared is highlighting it at all when, as flashling says, there is an important event happening in the UK today. American spellings in UK crosswords often generate comments; not always favourably.

    Further, the image shown only has 9 stripes. The US flag has 13 stripes. Probably best just to leave the banner untouched as ‘Fifteensquared never knowingly undersolved’.

  16. @15

    Election? What election?

    The Taoiseach is firmly ensconced in The Dáil Eireann as far as I’m aware.

    As for the stripes, I had trouble fitting the flag in last night – the first time I’ve attempted something like this, though I did “go green” on March 17th.

    Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia all fully restored.

  17. @Ken hah, the “tea sock” ( (c) Liz Truss) might be secure, but aren’t you a UK citizen; an immigrant there? 🙂 I do understand not wanting to create a party political flame fest though. This is not an invite to a pile on, please delete if it starts

  18. Thanks Flashling.

    I think we’ll draw a line there.

    Yes, I’m a UK citizen but having not lived there for more than fifteen years, I’ve lost my voting rights. And I can’t vote here unless I become an Irish citizen.

    Best wishes to all who do have the right to vote today. I hope you get the result you want.

  19. A bit late but I agree with Sheffield Hatter and Lord Jim @ several. The comment from Fru is pretty mild and I think the use of unconscionable is just deadpan humour .
    I would prefer to see more criticism on here as long as it is reasonable and not insulting .
    Guardian blogs in particular are often full of lavish praise for mediocre puzzles .
    I will always criticise indirect anagrams , they are abominable and any setter using them should be given a lifetime ban .

  20. Hi KenMac , no FT blog today?
    This is not a complaint, I know that bloggers can be busy or have IT problems , but if it is just pushing a button ?

  23. Roz – as a blogger, unless it’s a prize, most of those blogs aren’t produced in advance and a button pressed, they are produced and published as the crosswords are published. So currently scheduled (produced in advance) are the Azed, Everyman, Enigmatic Variations, Inquisitor and Genius.

    I’m here to ask about today’s FT blog title- which has got a bit wobbly.

  25. Hi Ken
    No idea what is happening to me today. I typed a comment on the Filbert Indy, pressed Post and it disappeared into the ether. I retyped and the same happened. However, a third post saying I wasn’t able to post went straight through. I then pasted in the text of my original comment and tried to post and got a message saying ‘Duplicate comment; looks like you’ve already said that’. I have posted test messages on GD and the Philistine blog and they appeared OK.

  26. @25

    This is an unfortunate side effect of Akismet – the anti-spam filter. It has, for whatever reason, decided that your comments were spam. Understandably there is no feedback to the user.

    Even with the best will in the world, I’ll never be able to get on top of this due to the large amount of spam that the site receives.

    If this happens then your best bet is to send an email to the email address at the top of this post.

  28. Hi Ken

    I cannot recall ever using a password on 225; if I did, it is long forgotten and I cannot recall having been asked for it. Until the mysterious pass-word protected post about S&B in York. I have no idea how to access it; is it something I need to know as an attendee?

    PM

  32. Kenmac , sorry to disturb you but you might want to look at post 7 on the FT today by Leonidas . It is from “Frieda” . It seems obvious to me that Frieda/Annabelle on FT blogs recently are the same as Peter/Pamela from previous times .

  35. Roz @ 32

    It appears that there is a problem with my outgoing mail. I only became aware of it on Friday evening and I’m away from home for a couple of nights.

    I can assure you I sent it to C. but I can’t investigate properly until I get home

  36. Roz,

    I’d rather not do this publicly but it appears that I have no choice.

    I now know that my email has been read by your email proxy. As I have received a reply.

    An apology is all that’s needed for you to “rejoin” our friendly community. You can do this by replying to this post.

  40. I’ve just used the comment Edit facility, which is a nice addition. Halfway through editing, a key press — I think of a left or right arrow key, to change the edit point — resulted in an apparent premature closure-of-editing. I came here to report it, but then broke off to step back to recheck the page I’d been editing. I then found it still apparently in mid-edit, so continued to complete it. Net result now: the edited post appears, as an addition to the original.

    I think it might be worth checking whether any actions other than a click on a Submit Edit button can have unforeseen or confusing effects. The eventual duplication otoh may well be due to my wrongly presuming the effects of using a cached or unclosed page from a possibly closed edit process; for that my apologies.

  42. Hi Kenmac
    When I add a link, clicking on it takes you away from the fifteensquared site. However some bloggers (PeterO today, for instance) add links that open a new tab without closing the fifteensquared one. How is this done?

  47. @Admin. Can you confirm the bona fides of the moniker Omnibus as setter, or another poster who’s come in via the back door? (Omnibus blog 6 December, Omnibus@112)

    Humour is all well and good but we do need to have some confidence as to who’s posting.
    If it’s the Guardian playing tricks we need to know. Or if someone has assumed the identity of a setter, I hope you will deal with that as you have had to do before.
    I deeply regret that we appear to have lost Roz, a valued contributor and much missed (from comments on 15sq) over the Ludwig fiasco, which divided people, some seeing it as funny, others as a trick on solvers.

    (Also posted on Guardian Cryptic 29559 Omnibus 6 Dec)

  50. I’ve just seen the deadline on the Christmas Azed – tomorrow! Last year the early deadline was changed to a week later. Unfortunately I won’t have access to a printer until it’s too late because of Xmas commitments. I’ve emailed the Observer but don’t know what effect that will have. Does anyone have any further information on this? Will the blog really appear tomorrow?

  51. I’m intrigued by the Roz Debacle. What was it about, does anyone know?

    I can’t say I was ever put at any disadvantage by any of her (?) posts.

  53. Just a thought, Admin. When removing a comment maybe replace it with “This comment has been removed because it does not comply with our standards” or some such. This way the reference numbers would not be affected. I think that’s a common practice on other sites, isn’t it?

  54. @53

    It’s not that easy, I’m afraid.

    Some comments are automatically flagged and it can be some time before the blogger or I notice. By then the numbering has already been disrupted.

    For example:

    First and second comments arrive and they’re accepted as numbers “01” and “02”.
    Third comment is sent to moderation
    Fourth comment is acceptable and becomes comment number “03”, since that is the next sequential number
    Third comment passes moderation and slots back in as comment 03, thus fourth comment ceases to be “03” and reverts to “04”
    If the fifth and subsequent comments refer to “03” they will not automatically change their text to say “04”.

    Far too much work to then try to put right.

  55. Thanks Admin@54. It’s always more complicated than it looks at first glance. I should have realised.

  56. KenMac, I did not intend to post a comment on Azed 2741 today , did not expect it to go through but thought that Loonapick would see it. I also used the Edit thing to delete it fairly quickly so not sure why it is still there.

  57. Hi Ken. Just wondering what’s happened to the blog for today’s Brummie in the Guardian. Thanks in anticipation

  58. KenMac , many thanks for removing the block and putting up with me and finding a way round the stalemate. I am going to stay out of the Guardian blogs until February as a reminder of my past and future behaviour . I will join some of the smaller blogs sometimes , nice to give these a bit of extra support . Best wishes , Roslyn – ONE S , I know there are many spellings and I am actually named after a Rosalind which complicates things, hence Roz .

  59. Dave Ellison @41

    It doesn’t seem to be that easy. However, if you’re using a proper keyboard, you can easily get to top or bottom of a page simply by pressing HOME or END respectively.

  60. Hello Admin,
    Just a note to thank you all for providing such a fantastic service in explaining the mechanics of cryptic crosswords.
    Over the years I have made intermittent efforts to engage, but never succeeded until a more concerted recent attempt and very much with the support of 15squared which I discovered by accident. Having solved two consecutive Everyman’s (tho still appreciating your parsing), I count myself at last ‘on board’.
    Best Wishes, Bill

  62. Hi Kenmac
    A few minutes ago, Norton prevented me from refreshing the site a couple of times, giving some sort of hazard warning. The site was then unreachable for a while. Do you know about this?

  65. I have come to feel that a certain blogger needs to be reined in a bit, a feeling exacerbated by what happened this morning. If you agree, kenmac, you will know whom I mean.

  70. Love the new approach to hiding the parsing and answers for the Quick Cryptic – super helpful, as I often want to check one result without seeing them all. The current implementation is a little clunky, however. Could you perhaps make it so that rather than the word ‘Details’ twice per clue, we have a ‘Details’ and an ‘Answer’. If you wanted to, you could also change the first ‘Details’ to a different word, like ‘Parsing’ or ‘How to parse…’

    If unclear, to do so the code would look like this:
    EDITED: I can’t put the example code here because the comment actually renders the html – please reach out if you would like help implementing the above.

    or anything similar to that. Whatever text is in the summary block within the details block will change what text appears for users to click on 🙂

    (another possible issue, but very much a minor one, is that ‘Expand All’ actually toggles all, meaning that if you already had some open before clicking it, it closes those ones. produces quite a fun little concertina vibe. I appreciate that what you’ve done here is set the logic to ‘invert’ the current open/closed state of every details block – a nice, easy to implement way of allowing both expand and collapse, but it does rather make a mess of things if you’ve already opened some and want to now see all of them – happy to assist with fixing this too, but it’s a bit too complex for this comment!)

  71. For attention of Admin: I tried to post a comment late last night but it disappeared. See https://www.fifteensquared.net/2025/02/05/guardian-cryptic-29610-by-harpo/#more-192300.

    When I tried to re-post I got an error message, saying I had already said that. I was able to retrieve the post, and added it this morning with an explanation.

    Is this something that the system just does from time to time? Is there a solution, either for users or that you can implement?

    Thanks for all you do.

  72. @71 The site is protected by Akismet, which weeds out nearly all the spam that this site receives.

    Understandably, it occasionally lets stuff through that it shouldn’t.

    Additionally, it sometimes flags a “false positive” see @63 above. It’s quite rare and, of course, it isn’t reported otherwise my inbox would be bursting at the seams.

    I’ve reinstated your comment.

  73. Charl.io @70

    The irony is that the QC is the smallest crossword we cover but it takes the most time to put together as it is largely hand-crafted.

    It is possible to have an alternate word to “Details” but “Details” is the default. Changing 40-odd tags every time would be a PITA.

    I’m aware of the “Expand All” anomaly but I don’t think it’s worth the effort to “fix” it. After all, the user can simply refresh the page to put things back how they were.

    I will gladly consider your offer of help. Please send an email to the address near the top of this page.

    An example

    would be coded something like this

  76. Ken/admin is out and about, when I queried this, and asked me to contact the scheduled blogger by email, which I have. I haven’t had an answer yet …

  79. For those asking, the answer from the scheduled blogger for the Qaos Guardian crossword was that a work problem got in the way of blogging.

  81. Why does the “RIP Puck” entry appear to have been completely deleted from the site? I know that the funeral details are now out of date, but the appreciative comments in praise of Puck were lovely to read and surely worth keeping?

    OOPS! For anyone else wondering where it went, it has been moved from the main page to the Announcements section.

  82. @81

    It hasn’t disappeared, it’s just that it’s no longer necessary to have it “sticky”.

    Go to “Select Category” and choose “Obituary”

  83. I think there is a good case for a standard form of words “This puzzle can be found at [link to online version]” to be used as the preamble, without anything more, for all blog entries on puzzles. Some bloggers already do this, and it is useful, because it provides visitors to the site who haven’t already tackled a particular puzzle to gain access to it (for so long as the link remains operative), without seeing any spoilers. At present, most of the forms of words used in preambles serve little purpose and could readily be dispensed with, as they do little more than state the name of the setter (which already appears in the heading) and/or the day of the week. Some, however well-intentioned, go too far, by providing readers with the blogger’s views on the puzzle in question, and that runs the risk of prejudicing solvers.

  84. @83

    Nice idea but not really practical. Some (not many) puzzles are unavailable online.

    Personally, I don’t see the need for the link but I’m not going to stop bloggers doing it.

    There is an agreement that spoilers won’t be provided but it’s difficult to police as no-one, not even admin, can see what the summary will look like ahead of time.

    Some bloggers use a utility, which, I believe, will give a consistent look-and-feel to the blogs it produces.

  85. I like the bloggers having different styles , also they are volunteers doing everyone a favour so they can do whatever they want as far as I am concerned . Perhaps I am not typical though since I would never need or use a link plus I never look at the site until I have finished my puzzles for the day so no chance of spoilers .

  86. Rudolf – To stop the whole content of the blog appearing on the home page, the blogger has to insert a break character. Only the content above the break appears on the home page. The utility Ken refers to inserts the break automatically.

    I have a feeling the blogging software doesn’t allow you to leave the space above the break blank, hence the bland filler statements. I shall test this next time I’m due to blog.

  87. At the bottom of the page is “This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.”

    “…data are processed…” surely!

  88. @87

    Chambers says:
    Plural noun (singular datum) or singular noun.

    Merriam Webster explains:
    Is Data singular or plural?
    Data leads a life of its own quite independent of datum, of which it was originally the plural. It occurs in two constructions: as a plural noun (like earnings), taking a plural verb and plural modifiers (such as these, many, a few) but not cardinal numbers, and serving as a referent for plural pronouns (such as they, them); and as an abstract mass noun (like information), taking a singular verb and singular modifiers (such as this, much, little), and being referred to by a singular pronoun (it). Both constructions are standard. The plural construction is more common in print, evidently because the house style of several publishers mandates it.

  89. Admin@84 The blog for yesterday’s Guardian Quiptic provides an example of the sort of thing I was referring to when I expressed my concern (@83) about the opening words of a blog (visible to all on the home page) potentially prejudicing solvers and commentators.

  90. In the last hour I have several times had the message ERROR ESTABLISHING A DATABASE CONNECTION when trying to access the site. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

  92. There’s no maintenance going on from my point of view. I’m just guessing that the host company has had a few hiccups.

  93. Further to the discussion on the Guardian Philistine crossword yesterday, I’m going to register my objection to the use of Playtext to characterise lift and separate clues here. I don’t object to using “lift & separate”; it’s a descriptor, which also describes dividing bulbs and dahlia tubers, it’s used in various sporting activities to describe moves: ballet, yoga and gymnastics – so as a phrase it’s neutral.

    However, the minute you explicitly link Playtex, a women’s underwear manufacturer, to that phrase you’re immediately moving a fairly neutral description into sexualised innuendo. That innuendo adds to the objectification of women as sexual toys and not people in their own right, which is a huge current problem. The Girlguiding Girls’ Attitude Survey from last year found that 3 out of 4 girls encountered sexism in every area of their lives, increasing to 95% of girls aged 17-21. I volunteer in Girlguding and youth work and know that the girls I know are bombarded with dick pictures, which they feel they cannot report, treated as second class citizens, don’t believe they can do things, because they spend their lives being put down. The girls I mostly see are aged 10 – 14. Unless, we as adults, set a good example, we’re just adding to this treatment. Now, I realise that men don’t necessarily see this, but I do know that a number of other women do also object.

    I would also suggest that the problem with low numbers of women participating in crossword setting is not addressed by allowing this sort of innuendo about women’s bodies when describing crossword techniques. If it’s allowed in this sort of milieu, you are adding to the conviction that crossword solving is also a boys’ club and not for women, which is not going to encourage participation by women.

    Now you can, as a site, continue to promote sexism and a sexist attitude by allowing crossword terms to be linked to women’s underwear manufacturers, or you can rule that it’s not appropriate. Personally I think it’s a no-brainer to ban the overt sexism, but it’s up to the site to choose.

  94. Shanne @93 I couldn’t agree less. I revisited yesterday’s comments having noticed how many had been added since my last visit, and such a dust storm of sanctimonious nothingness I have not seen here since ‘Hairstyle for a criminal (4)’. It is the offence that I find offensive, and your argument that any mention of a slogan promoting women’s underwear decades ago is ‘sexualised innuendo’ can only be based on your own prior, culturally-absorbed sexualisation of women’s upper bodies and the garments that clothe it. In so doing, you capitulate to those who do find references to breasts and underwear titillating and intrinsically humorous. You do not speak for me and I am sure many others, male and female.

  95. Shanne @93 – I could agree more. The point being that “lift and separate” does not describe what is happening in the clue type and the use of the phrase is no more innocent than the reference to “Playtex”. I accept that other things in life might be lifted and separated, but these are unlikely to explain why the phrase became so popular on this website.
    Balfour@94 – there was very little offence being taken on the Philistine page. Most of us were just tired of having to be reminded regularly that there are those amongst us who do find references to breasts and underwear titillating and intrinsically humorous.

  96. Balfour@95 I have to agree , sometimes my female students have serious welfare issues usually linked to their phones . Mention of a bra maker they have never heard of would not affect them one jot .
    Sorry to be accurate but my memory forces my hand , it was – Shock for a criminal (4) – which makes the setter seem even more innocent .

  97. Alright, let’s stop there. Unfortunately we live in a time where many people seem determined to find offence in virtually everything – especially on behalf of others (even those they’ve never met).

    Should I put a ban on any words that anyone who contributes to this site uses if anyone has ever indicated offensiveness?

    Perhaps I should start with “nina”. Who dares look it up on https://urbandictionary.com?
    And, for that matter, what about Playtex on the same site?

    And, I wonder what Neil Armstrong would have thought of the fuss over his spacesuit? See Wikipedia

  101. Steffen – ‘criminal’ is an established anagrind in these parts, so the answer was AFRO,which provoked the reaction. Roz has a better memory than I do – it was over four years ago.

  103. Well said Shanne@93 and Van Winkle@95, and sorry that Roz@96 doesn’t agree there is a connection between low-level and high-level sexism as described by Shanne. I must say I’ve never heard of lift and separate in gardening (‘lift and divide’?) or dance/sport, and my daughter’s a dancer; I’m not saying it doesn’t exist as a neutral phrase but Google alone suggests it is almost exclusively associated with bras, and on those grounds I don’t think it’s worth defending. PS @Admin – just to let you know the charming Balfour is now letting me know (#115 on yesterday’s Philistine) that his daughter thinks I’m a w****r.

  104. Admin / kenmac has asked that we stop the discussion about the use of “lift-and-separate” and “Playtex”, but I wonder if I can make one further comment now that things have perhaps cooled down a bit. Ken makes it clear that he has no intention of introducing a ban on the terms in question. That’s reasonable and it should be up to individual bloggers what they choose to say. If an individual blogger does decide not to use these terms in future (as Eileen has already said), there seems to be no need to come up with a new fancy term for such clues – something straightforward and self-explanatory like “word-splitting” should suffice, eg: “This is a word-splitting clue – you need to split the word XY into X and Y. The definition is X…” etc.

  105. Lord Jim @104 I agree, I reckon it’ll now look a bit odd to insist on using a bra term when it’s clear others don’t like it and there are alternative expressions at hand

  107. Roz, I thought you were supposed to be on your best behaviour, not stirring things up. You wait til Ken gets in.

  109. Sayer @108 Being female, Roz is unlikely to be well hung. Maybe you mean hanged. While mischievous, she is, of course, being accurate, as the pectoral meaning of the word is simply a local application of its general meaning of splitting into two or more parts, which is exactly what happens in the type of clue under discussion.

  111. Re yesterday’s Cryptic 29,635, Brummie – no one seems to have picked up TorsionWire’s comment @55 “I think you’ve identified this crossword with the wrong number. It’s listed here as 29,365, whereas the crossword for today (6 March 2025) is 29,635.” It is still showing under the wrong number.

  113. Hi Kenmac
    Over the last week or so, and particularly today, I have repeatedly been getting this message – I think some others have too.

    Error establishing a database connection

  114. I’ve had several errors establishing data base connection as well over the past week or so, the most recent one about 2 minutes ago.
    I usually get back in again by opening a new tab. I don’t know if that’s luck, coincidence or a useful strategy, but it seems to work.

  115. And another just now after attempting to save, which I didn’t seem to be able to do, or get any confirmation of. Just the error message. So I did the same thing, opened a new tab, and I see my post is here @114..

  116. I have been in touch with the host company today and they informed me that the site is running at 99% CPU. When I asked for help I was basically told, “fix it yourself”. I will try again tomorrow.

    In the meantime, I have tried disabling (and then re-enabling) various plugins. One of these was the comment edit plugin. I think you maybe fell foul of it being temporarily unavailable.
