Advice, please! I retrieved a copy of the Telegraph from my father-in-law's bin this morning and have been attempting the EV for the first time this afternoon. I complete the Times crossword every...
6 across (_A_T) appears to be EAST...explanation anyone? Also 21 down(T_T_R) Is that TUTOR-SICK? I am unable to find the reference. Thanks for all assistance.
Lovely whilst it lasted. Definitely one for beginners and newcomers.
Sadly, it leaves me without an excuse for Mrs Starwalker's grand garden redesign tomorrow....
A fit of the screaming thingies - if that goes in 6dn then the Siberian lake goes in 16ac but then 8dn doesn't fit with any of the answers in its cluster. What am I doing wrong?
A step up in difficulty here. We've floundered our way to a complete grid with crime fighters, an item of clothing and a set of villains, though I am not sure which one is the appropriate one to...
I have a nice full grid, but not a clue what's going on. I don't want to know what the solution is, just that someone out there has seen a regular pattern (or whatever) that makes sense of the thing....
A pleasant Sunday morning puzzle; one I don't think will trouble our regulars too much. The setter's advice on the use of a pencil for the first grid filling is superfluous to me as I always do the EV...
Do I get to call firsties this week? I thought this was a nice puzzle. It was a lot easier to get the keyword than I thought it might be, and once you have that everything falls into place pretty...
I guess you will all find this extremely easy. A welcoming relief from the Listener that's for sure. So in a way nice one Glow-worm.
Not too much to tackle here today folks!...
This is what the listener is all about. As soon as I saw Kea's name at the top I knew this was going to be good. This was a real challenge, the like we have been missing recently. Masterful...
A nice challenge and a clever construction, but as you can see, a quick finish. I'm interested to know whether others see what to do before or after discerning the 10 letter word. Cheers to Pointer,...
Could the Times web team either a) learn how to use cron files or b) replace "Mephisto Latest crossword and solution: live after 2100 Saturday" with " Mephisto Latest crossword and...
A fine piece of craftsmanship from Schadenfreude: I especially like the fact that "altered words consist only of real words" after a few recently that have included gibberish in the finished...
In a way typical of what we expect from Dipper, although harder than recent efforts. Initially a quick start developed into a much slower finish. I enjoyed tracking down the herbs but I thought the...
Good Morning.
Here is a link to 'Racketeers' set by Doc.

It can be found on page 51.
Ideally this puzzle should have been published a month ago....
After part of the theme dawned on me half way through filling in the grid, i was thinking we were in for another stale ending. Luckily the ending took a fair amount of decoding, and it was very...
