Wasn’t at all on the right wavelength for this at first, but once I got going it all seemed to fall into place. I particularly liked 14ac, 18ac, 1dn, 7dn and 8dn.

I’m always excited to see Arachne’s name at the top of the puzzle, and as usual she provides an entertaining challenge full of misdirection. Many lovely clues, but favourites were 10ac, 21ac, 27ac and 28ac.

Found this very tough all the way through, but with plenty to enjoy – my favourite was 9dn. Thanks, Crucible.

A bit trickier than usual from Rufus, and a nice start to the week. A few swindles in the clues had me looking for any further connections, but I’m yet to think of any. Favourites 25ac, 5dn, 7dn, and 21dn.

With apologies for lateness – I found this a little hard to get into in the morning but coming back, it all seemed clearly clued and very fun. Favourite was 14dn.

Really enjoyable and not too difficult, with lots of neat cluing and surfaces. Favourites 10ac, 28ac, 8dn and 13dn. Thanks, Orlando.

Enjoyable, but a bit of a struggle…

Found this tough, but with lots of fun and inventive cluing. A ‘singing’ theme in the clues…

A nice, gentle, start to the week with plenty of anagrams, double and cryptic defs. Thanks Rufus.

Nicely clued, challenging and fun, with some tricky surface misdirection. I particularly liked 27ac, 1dn, 2dn and 10dn. Thanks Picaroon.
