Though there's another thread on on 4095, and I've contributed to it, this might help get the conversation started, though I suspect not a long one. There really isn't much to this (sorry Llig, and...
A much bigger challenge, I thought this week, with some very clever plays involved in creating the group members. Lots of lovely pennies dropping all the way through. I'd be interested to see how soon...
Here is a link to Spectator 1972. It can be found on page 59 http://thespectator.n...om/epaper/viewer.aspx With the exception of one unclued light I found it straightforward with a self- explanatory...
Does anyone know what's happened to the online version of last weekend's TLS 839 - it's still not posted for the Times Xwd Club. I have e-mailed the Times, but heard nothing so far. I hope that with...
Another Friday, another Listener and another new setter (or is it). After a very straightforward grid fill, I shall now retire for a glass of something to consider the preamble. These easy fills are...
Presuming 30 DOWN is YELL - but can someone explain the wordplay in full.
CLUE:
Shout bit of mockery for Liberal? Thatcher would do that (4)
Thanks in advance....
This is a link to Spectator 1971 : Song V11 set by Dumpynose http://thespectator.n...om/epaper/viewer.aspx It can be found on page 59. I enjoyed it as there was a bit more to it than the last few...
Can anyone who is doing today's EV please confirm the following- 1) The number of letters in the clue reading ' Queen starts to handle useful instrument' ? 2) That the number of letters (12) is...
We have found the clues a step up in difficulty from previous ones and had to go to the Internet for the quotation. Certainly not a puzzle for newcomers this week!
My first listener from one of the Magpie team (talk about coincidences from last weeks magpie pitch). Obvious misprints made this fairly straightforward to start but tricky to finish. The theme...
Hello everyone, I hope you've all been to Church, good day to you all. Never done a 'barred' Hypnos puzzle before. Only grid ones in the Independent. This should be fun, at least I now have ODQ5 !...
Ploy gave us a relatively straightforward but interesting grid with "Signal Boxes" and it is the same this week. In fact there is more in the grid than needs to be highlighted. A very...
At first the high proportion of short words is a bit daunting - but for the most part the clues are fair, even if in one instance a little vulgarity (in my and Chambers' opinion) creeps in. A good...
This is a terrific technical challenge, with some fine and fair cluing. It made my head spin towards the end, and I suspect transcription into the final grid is going to be particularly prone to...
