Never knowingly undersolved
I didn’t enjoy this one very much, but I think it’s well-known that I have never been on Daedalus’ wavelength. Many will have appreciated it, no doubt, so looking forward to some comments … Read more >>
A nice start to the week with Rufus’s trademark smooth surfaces. Favourites were 1dn and 17dn – thanks, Rufus.
Sunday rolls round and the reliable Everyman. You can find it here
I got off to a flying start but the last few took a while to get and explain. Thank you Peter.
No printing errors! At least none that I can see, thank you to whoever has taken up the challenge. I found this pretty hard, especially the top half of the grid. I would be interested to hear how others found it. Thank you Azed for a great puzzle with some very interesting words.
Location! Location! Location?…The title of ADDRESS, and three references to ‘locations’ in the preamble, suggest that there is some sort of geographical theme, or postcode lottery, going on…or are we being led up … Read more >>

This has been a week where the traditional setter’s rota has been thrown away so it’s no surprise to find Math rather than Phi today. The puzzle has a theme … Read more >>
I am beginning to find Wanderer a familiar face on Fridays , more so than the Don. A quirky witty challenge from Wanderer, thanks to whom for making sure that Friday the 13th, wasnt a gloomy day at all!
Got stuck a few times but it was well worth the struggle. Favourites were 1ac, 23ac, 2dn and 4dn. Thanks, Paul
Poins today. This didn’t seem quite like usual Thursday fare, since Thursdays tend to be rather difficult, for me at any rate, and although there are several places here where I don’t fully understand what’s going on, it did seem to be rather easier than usual.
Definitions underlined and in maroon.
This was a tough offering from Chalmie
It’s only just over two weeks since I last blogged a Vlad puzzle, and as usual I approached it with some trepidation. However, it turned out to be rather a gentle one by … Read more >>
