Guardian Cryptic 27,349 by Arachne
I’m always delighted to solve and blog an Arachne, and have been lucky enough to get two in a row. Loved 21ac, 5dn, 8dn, and 13dn.
Guardian Cryptic 27,342 by Pasquale
As often, Pasquale throws in a few obscurities – two completely new words and several only vaguely recognised, all gettable in the end thanks to the clueing. Favourites were 11ac, 13ac, 8dn and 14dn.
Guardian Cryptic 27,335 by Rufus
Very nice – I especially liked 14ac, 16dn and 23dn 22dn. Thanks, Rufus.
Guardian Cryptic 27,333 by Arachne
Arachne is always a pleasure, with some truly excellent surfaces. Favourites were both 1s, 14ac, 22ac, 27ac, 2dn and 16dn.
Guardian 27,326 – Picaroon
A lovely puzzle that I’ve had to blog a bit late and in a rush thanks to technical difficulties. Many favourites including 10ac, 17ac, 3dn, 14dn and 18dn. Many thanks to Picaroon.
Guardian Cryptic 27,319 by Nutmeg
A quick and enjoyable solve, with some trickier parsings worked out after the fact, and a couple of unfamiliar words that needed looking up. 16ac, 19ac and 4dn particular favourites. Thanks, Nutmeg

I liked this a lot…
Guardian Cryptic 27,305 by Rufus
A couple of odd clues, but otherwise a nice puzzle with 7dn and 17dn my favourites. Thanks, Rufus.
Guardian Cryptic 27,303 by Brummie
Tough in places…
Guardian Cryptic 27,296 by Enigmatist
Enigmatist is always challenging, and this took me ages to finish, with the theme indicated in the Special Instructions…
Guardian Cryptic 27,289 by Picaroon
Too many clues made me smile to mention them all – particular favourites were 25ac, 27ac, and 10dn. Thanks Picaroon
