A good Thursday work-out from Crosophile. We started quickly, completed almost half the grid and then came to a sudden halt! All of the clues were fair but some of the more devious … Read more >>

Another Phi-day to end the week! First of all though – Many thanks to PeeDee and Eileen who stood in for us while we were on holiday! We thought there may be a … Read more >>

Thanks Morph for another enjoyable puzzle. Some of the clues left us very puzzled but when the penny dropped we could see that the clues were fair (but very often mischievous!). A good … Read more >>

A good challenge both in the initial solve and then again a few days later when we came to write up the blog! We like Klingsor’s puzzles so were very pleased to see … Read more >>

Our turn to blog the Wednesday puzzle and we weren’t sure what to expect. We’ve only blogged a couple of Crosophile puzzles. The last one in August had a mixture of some easy … Read more >>
