A difficult challenge from BRADMAN today made more so due to an error in grid numbering. A few new words in the puzzle to boot, made for a different solving experience than the last offering from this setter.

A typical delightful offering from WANDERER – with a healthy range of difficulty in the clues. Some parsings could be improved upon I think.

A good solid workout from GOLIATH this Friday. Seemingly inscrutable at first, the pieces fell in place faster than I had expected them to, once I got going. Several witty/innovative clues I thought .. thanks Goliath !

An atypical challenge from BRADMAN today, with a disporportionate number of long words/phrases. A few words that I didnt know before the solve but quite easily gettable from the solid construction of the clue.

Bradman returns this Friday, to dish out a straightforward challenge. I thought there were a higher-than-average number of hidden solutions and anagrams, which did help make quick work of the puzzle. Thanks Bradman.
