Gemelo No. 8 – Plain
This is my first foray into blogging a Gemelo puzzle. I have managed to solve Nos. 1-7, but I would agree with Andrew’s comment from last week, that the style of the clues is a little different from Azed–a style that I am still getting the hang of. This week’s grid is unusual for having six fully-checked three-letter solutions.
Everyman 4,117/14 September
The usual accessible cryptic from Everyman, with all the trademark elements included. I have nothing more to add, but I’m sure we’ll hear what the regulars and new contributors thought.
