Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1002 Sunday January 22nd 2012

I thought that was an excellent puzzle - the best EV for quite a while.

Listener 4172: Fruitless Effort by Hypnos

I found this to be a somewhat difficult puzzle with very competent clueing, clever concealment of many of the misprints and a nice theme. Thanks, Hypnos.

EV1000 Dollars Also by Rustic

A real disappointment for number 1000; the theme is trivial and the proof reading poor - the number of letters in 9 across is wrong and in 35 across the number of letters is missing. This is one of...

Happy New Year to all EVers. My New Year resolution - to try and find time to tackle every EV - and so far I have kept to that! A gratifying puzzle to start 2012. Must apologise for my non-appearance...

Listener 4170: Aristocat by Mango

Last puzzle of the year and it is Mango. 2008 was the last time we saw them with the excellent City Tour. This was not as good, but an enjoyable challenge. Shame the whole theme was got very early...

Listener 4168, Phiz by Bero

So, no Friday finishes on this one. Me neither: perhaps I really am slipping. I'm really struggling to get enthused about this: it looks like a lot of cold solving and then a letters jigsaw. I don't...

EV 996 Medium Rare by Jaques

Nice puzzle, certainly an impressive grid construction. It took a while for the penny to drop, so for a while I was baffled by answers that seemed right but didn't seem to fit! Finally getting the...

Listener 4165, Variation on a Theme by Nibor

Not much here to cause any grief this week, I think. Not too high on the difficulty scale, but enjoyable anyway. Now I have no excuses for the afternoon and will be forced to finally clean out my...

EV 995: Needed by Ozwat

I'm surprised to find I'm starting the thread as this particular puzzle was pretty straightforward after a few tricky ones. I thought last week's wouldn't have shamed The Listener. No real surprises...

EV 994

Am I the first one to post on this - or have I missed the thread? By no means an easy EV this week, with clashes and misprints complicating matters. But definitely worth pressing on with as there is...

EV 993 Mind the Gap by Ifor

A fine puzzle, although a lot of cold solving required before you can really get going. Getting the 10 & 11 letter words helps a lot. Clever of Ifor to include 2 grid numbers as part of the...

EV 991 To Horse by MynoT
