Thanks WANDERER, for a fiendish puzzle , that was deceptively difficult in parts, parsing much more so than solving! Several clever surfaces made this that much more fun.

A tough offering from Redshank today. I struggled from start to finish and had to do this over multiple settings. Very fair clues , and a solid challenge, as can be expected from this setter. Thanks Redshank!

An unusual challenge from BRADMAN this Friday , largely due to the wide spectrum of difficulty levels of the clues as well as an inordinate number of double definitions. Thanks BRADMAN !!

A tricky puzzle today from Wanderer that I had to attempt a few times to get through. Yet another crossword where the parsing for many clues took longer than the solve itself. Thanks Wanderer, for a brisk workout!

Another excellent offering from WANDERER who serves up a delightfully witty and innovatively clued crossward. Liked the nice mix of long and short solutions, as well as a couple of the cluing devices used. Thanks , WANDERER.

A tough offering from the Don this Friday. Several new words I learnt along the way – fairly clued so that made the solve reasonably attainable , with only references made with Chambers to ensure correctness of solution.

A typical workout from Redshank, thanks to whom for setting a solid challenge. In my opinon, one of the more balanced crosswords I have solved recently, being not too easy and not too difficult .
