The FT’s Sunday series reaches a landmark with its 100th puzzle, which as ever can be found to solve online or download and print at ft.com/crossword. For those unfamiliar with the geographically-themed World puzzle, which appears regularly on the first Sunday of every month, I would recommend this one from Gozo as a very enjoyable entry point…

Guardian Quiptic 1,337/Pasquale
Another fine Quiptic from Pasquale. I fancy that less experienced and improving solvers will have appreciated this one.
Independent on Sunday 1,845/Filbert
Filbert in his customary Sunday slot with another carefully-constructed and pleasing puzzle.
Everyman 4,106
Everyman, ‘the crossword world’s entry point since 1945’,
Azed 2767
We have a plain Azed puzzle this week. There is no competition and there are no controversial grid entries that I can see.
Genius no 264 by Pangakupu
June’s Genius is set by Pangakupu.
The preamble says:
Six answers are modified, with one part of each replaced by itself. Their clues are presented in ascending order so that none is entered in the numbered space indicated. Wordplay in each remaining clue gives an extra letter; these spell out the nature of the replacement. Lengths in brackets indicate the number of spaces to be filled at that number; hyphenation and indications such as ‘7 words’ are omitted.
