A varied set of clues, leading to an interesting set of words in the solution. All-in-all a very pleasant puzzle (and even more interesting than I at first realised, thank you Chalmie).

A fine crossword from Aardvark. Not a hard puzzle, but one that I would have finished much more quickly if there had not been so many obvious paths to the solution that turned into dead ends. I’m sure he does it on purpose! Thanks Aardvark.

I found this one a whole lot harder than any other IoS puzzle I have blogged. There are still a couple I can’t completely explain. Good fun, but I am glad I had plenty of time to sole this one! Thanks eXternal.

A spectacular tribute puzzle from Io. This puzzle was accidentally omitted from the FT website on the day of publication. If you missed this one then I recommend having a go. download the PDF here.

I didn’t enjoy this all that much when I first solved it, but then when I wrote up the blog a few days later I found plenty to enjoy. I think I must have just been at a bit of a low ebb at the time. Thanks Picaroon.

An excellent puzzle, really good fun to solve. I found this a good level of difficulty too, it was a satisfying solve without becoming a “struggle to the death” like the Wednesday slot can sometimes be. Thanks Chalmie!

I found this quite tricky, especially on the left-hand side of the grid. I spent a lot of time trawling Chambers to make progress there.

A really great puzzle from Io, one of the best puzzles I have blogged for a long time. Far too many good clues to single out any particular one so I will leave that up to you. Thanks Io.
