Independent 12,138 / Eccles
Eccles has served up this week’s Wednesday puzzle. This was just what I needed to get me at least part-way through the day.
Independent 12137 / Math
Math appears to be a new setter in the Independent series as I can’t find evidence of an earlier puzzle in the records.
Independent 12,136/Bluejacket
The Monday offering in the Independent is from Bluejacket. I blogged this setter’s debut puzzle in April of this year, so they are still a little bit of the new kid on the block. Another delightful cryptic today, which I much enjoyed.
Independent on Sunday 1,853/Filbert
Filbert in his customary IoS slot, with a delightful and meticulously constructed puzzle. A wide range of subjects on show too, which made it a pleasure to solve and blog.
Independent 12,135 by Quince
The puzzle is available to solve online or download here.
Hi all. There is a lot of quality on show in this puzzle and I’m struggling to decide what to highlight here. I suppose I could just mention the very first clue
Independent 12,134 by Phi
It’s the end of the week and as expected we have a Phi to solve and blog.
Independent 12,133 / Wiglaf
Wiglaf has served up his latest puzzle for our entertainment today.
Independent 12132 / Eccles
It’s Wednesday, so I have my 4-weekly blog of an Eccles puzzle to prepare.
Independent 12,131 / Mev
I’m covering for Quirister today, returning the favour she did me earlier in the month.
Independent 12,130 by Lark
Lark kicks off the puzzling week in the Indie.

Thank you to Hippogryph. Definitions are underlined in the clues.
Independent 12,129 by Methuselah
Quite a challenge from the agéd one today.
Independent 12,128 / Phi
This week’s set of puzzles comes to a normal end with Phi’s latest offering.
Independent 12127 / Dalibor
Dalibor is a setter whose puzzles are seen frequently at Setters and Bloggers events. I believe he has been ill for some time and has been unable to attend the events in person. He also sets a few Independent puzzles.
