An enjoyable outing from Everyman
Everyman
Everyman 4,125/9 November
The usual pleasing cryptic from Everyman. Nothing to frighten the horses, which is as it should be.
Everyman 4,124
I thought this was good but on the hard side for an Everyman and some clues held me up for quite a while. There are the usual Everyman extras which are highlighted in the grid. Definitions in crimson, underlined. Indicators (homophone, hidden, containment, anagram, juxtaposition, etc) in italics. Anagrams indicated *(like this) or (like this)*. Link-words in olive.

A standard-issue Everyman
Everyman 4,117/14 September
The usual accessible cryptic from Everyman, with all the trademark elements included. I have nothing more to add, but I’m sure we’ll hear what the regulars and new contributors thought.
Everyman 4,116
A pleasant crossword and all as usual nowadays: the self-referential clue, the first letters clue, the rhyming pair (pairs this time, at a stretch 6ac and 17ac, but I haven’t coloured them), all of which are coloured.
Definitions underlined in crimson. Indicators (homophones, reversal, letter deletion, etc) in italics. Anagrams indicated (like this)* or *(like this). Link-words in green.

Definitions in crimson, underlined. Indicators (anagram, homophone, juxtaposition, reversal, etc) in italics. Anagrams indicated *(like this) or (like this)*. Link-words in green,
