Enigmatic Variations No. 1108: Dreams by Rasputin

Sat February 22, 2014 at 12:01 am by mc_rapper67

I have commented a couple of times already on what a good week we’ve been having for puzzles – not only in the Guardian – and to round it off with one from … Read more >>

My third time covering Bradman, another great grid to finish the working week with. Thanks Bradman for a pleasurable solve. Just touched down in Tokyo a couple of hours back and immediately got to a wifi enabled location to get my fix for the day.

Independent 8,535 / Phi

Fri June 8, 2018 at 10:27 amFri February 21, 2014 at 2:01 am by RatkojaRiku

I was expecting this Friday to bring me a lexical tussle with Phi, and so it did. This was a puzzle I was expecting to whizz through, having worked out all the longer … Read more >>

Financial Times 14,551 / Magwitch

Thu February 20, 2014 at 8:20 am by Gaufrid

Magwitch has been appearing monthly since last September so this is his/her sixth puzzle in the FT. I found this one to be on the easy side but this did not detract from the enjoyment … Read more >>

Klingsor’s puzzle today was a fair workout for a Thursday. There were a couple of lesser known words / phrases, for me at least, in the top left hand corner … Read more >>

Thu February 20, 2014 at 1:23 am by manehi

A fun puzzle with a few thematically linked clues and solutions – I struggled with the top half of the grid until I caught on to the theme. I particularly liked 12ac, 26ac, 7dn and 23dn.

Monday Prize Crossword/Feb 10 A very enjoyable brain exercise from Crux. Plenty of variation, nice surfaces and a couple of morbid clues (5d, 23d) on top of that ….. Definitions are underlined wherever … Read more >>

Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of February 8, 2014 While it may be a little heavy in the use of ‘first of’ (in 14a, 15a and 19d), I found this a good … Read more >>

In general the clues were pretty clear and obvious – after I had solved them. Before solving they were anything but. This is my definition of a good cryptic.

Wed February 19, 2014 at 10:26 am by John

An unusually easy crossword from Dac today, it seemed. But that is not to denigrate it: there are as always some lovely surfaces and all is sound — even 24ac, about which I have slight misgivings, may possibly be included in this.

Definitions in italics.
