Independent on Sunday 1,837/Bluejacket
Only Bluejacket’s second appearance in the Independent after a debut last month. I blogged that first puzzle and said very positive things about it, and I’m about to do the same for this one.

It’s Phiday again!
Independent 12,037 / Stamp
Stamp has provided today’s puzzle and is one of those setters whose work I have the least experience of solving and blogging.

A puzzle by Eccles in the Independent on Wednesday is now becoming a tradition.

Independent 12,034 by Mog
Yet again, my failure to check that the utilities site had the right puzzle meant I originally blogged an IOS puzzle from long ago. Apologies for that.

Dalibor, a pseudonym of Sil van der Hoek, last set an Independent crossword in December 2021, although he has featured on this site more recently than that with puzzles for the October Sloggers and Betters gatherings in York in October 2023 and October 2024.
