This was a treat to solve and blog.

I have not seen a Goliath puzzle before. From the general feel of the puzzle I’m guessing that Goliath is a new setter rather than an established one setting under a new pseudonym.

Good fun from Artexlen today. A relatively straightforward puzzle (for Artexlen) but with a sting in it’s tail. Thank you.

Alberich makes us work hard today, but everything is there waiting to be found. Thank you Alberich.

The perfect lunchtime or coffee break crossword, very enjoyable.

Good fun from Tramp, one of my favourite setters.

An entertaining puzzle, though I think I’m not quite on Hamilton’s wavelength as I struggled to fully explain some of the clues. Thank you Hamilton.

An interesting crossword from Aardvark as usual.
Financial Times 14,603 by IO
IO puzzles are usually a challenge, and this one does not disappoint. Thank you IO for stretching my brain this morning.
There are a couple of clues where IO has defeated me. I’m sure there are valid explanations in there somewhere but I’m damned if I can find them.

Good stuff from Poins. Trickier than the previous IoS puzzle of his that I blogged.
Financial Times 14,598 by Alberich
This is a tough puzzle with not many easy clues. I had to work hard all the way to the end.

An entertaining puzzle which took me a while to figure out what was going on.

Good stuff form Artexlen today. There was a mix of difficulty here, from the straightforward to the downright devious. Hopefully something for everyone. Thanks Artexlen.

I have not blogged a Hamilton puzzle before. I filled the grid well enough but I am clearly not thinking on Hamiltons wavelength as there are several clues that I can’t quite come to grips with.
