An excellent puzzle. I enjoyed the first stage of the problem as logic was required throughout rather than testing umpteen possibilities. The gridfill was quicker than anticipated and there is no...

I thought the gridfill was OK. Many of the clues were pretty straightforward allowing a well-timed PDM to resolve the difficulties and confirm the theme. The two unclued entries were fine once the...

Well that was the toughest (and best) of the year so far by a country mile. I don't remember clues where the wordplay leads to anagrams of the answer before. It was quite tough in a few cases to...

Another great circular puzzle. I enjoyed solving the clues -- just pitched at the right difficulty. 32 was the final clue for me which I should have solved far quicker! Initial inroads were made in...

Quite a challenging numerical. The first stage was odd: I felt it relied on an intuitive 'feel' for the numbers rather than the standard logical route to fix all the individual values. This, for me,...

I felt the clues were OK but the puzzle came alive with the theme and endgame. Many thanks, Mr. Snaky....

Another enjoyable puzzle. Not difficult to guess what was required from the word go but the thematic clues were sometimes quite tough -- reverse engineering certainly helped with some of these towards...

Another enjoyable puzzle. It wasn't as daunting as the preamble initially suggested. There was a good mix of clue difficulty -- some very straightforward, others "Sabre-esque". I particularly liked...

A superb, challenging puzzle; one which was difficult to walk away from. Clues were generally excellent (I thought 22 was a tad weak), a nice PDM and a novel endgame. Many thanks, Rebel. Well done!...

A superb construction with a good mix of clue difficulty. In a few cases, some clues were very tough indeed which I wouldn't have been able to cold-solve. I'm afraid the "helpful message" came too...

This became so much easier after a few answers had been entered. Up until then it was cold solving until a pair of matching letters was obtained. End result was unambiguous. Many thanks, Demoniacal....

What a great workout. Tough clues and a great endgame. Many thanks to "the setter"! I really enjoyed it....

I expected an extant thread but haven't found one. I enjoyed this; the clues were fun and the endgame entertaining too. Many thanks, Skylark....

Well, I've had a completed grid since early this morning. I have a final grid which seems to fit the bill which I will submit; however, how the sequence is used is beyond me, despite the unhelpful...

Quite an entertaining puzzle; medium difficulty although I had to reverse-engineer three or four of the modified answers to solve. Thanks, Nudd....

Another superlative puzzle. We are being treated at the moment. Some of the 13 word removal clues were very tough, however, all were perfectly fair. I wouldn't have stood much of a chance of finishing...

I enjoyed this. The clues were set at just the right difficulty for me; difficult enough to be a challenge and want to keep on but not absurdly difficult. It is a pity that there is more than one way...

Very nice. Not as difficult as it first appeared. Entering values needed much care. Now, have I missed any bars out? Many thanks, Piccadilly....

A good puzzle. I enjoyed solving the clues which were sometimes quite challenging based on the misprint being anywhere in the clue. The endgame was unambiguous and impressive. Thanks, Hawk....

Well, I've looked for a thread but there doesn't appear to be one. This was a tough puzzle, probably the hardest so far this year. The theme wasn't for me at all (at all) but I enjoyed the clue types....
