We hadn’t come across this setter before. An enjoyable crossword, and not at all flimsy.

We were awaiting an Io puzzle with some trepidation, as we’d been told that they could be very challenging. As there is no facility to cheat or check one’s guesses and reverse-engineer the solutions on the FT, there’s no safety net for the blogger. We found this a challenge in parts, but mainly because of what we see as vagueness of some of the clues and obscureness of some of the answers. On the other hand, there were some really clever clues to compensate.

A curate’s egg. Our enjoyment was spoiled by what we saw as some very contrived answers necessitated by the special feature referred to in the rubric.
