Hi all. Phi has provided an enjoyable puzzle which I found at the gentler end of his range – especially if you spot the extra feature.

The puzzle is available to solve online or download here.
Hi all. When the first two acrosses went in readily, I thought I was in for a nice gentle ride. I had to think again. And again, and again …! It certainly took me longer than a typical Filbert, let alone a Filbert on Sunday.

Independent on Sunday 1,841/Filbert
Filbert is most often to be seen these days in the Independent on Sunday slot. I found this an enjoyable challenge which took a while to tease out, but fell nicely once I had a bit of a foothold in the grid. Some delightful surfaces as always from this setter.
