Ev 1164 Greetings By Kruger

"Greetings" EVers, I found very few gifts on the first pass through the clues and really had to work the wordplay. The last letter of 12d was an enigma in itself, until the extra letters started to...

I'm surprised not to find the usual EV thread here. Am I alone in finding this fairly difficult?

Ev - Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1147: Sets Out By Ferret

I'll start the ball rolling on this rather fun one with a theme that's a personal favourite of mine. Some very cunning clues and, perhaps, a poignant end game. Wonder if this might have been a shade...

Ev - Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1143 - Go Ping By Proximal

proXimal, aka eXternal, making his EV debut I believe. A quirky theme to be sure, but all the more entertaining for that. The clues felt fairly easy, I thought, so hopefully an accessible EV that will...

Ev 1139 Remake By Stick Insect

An enjoyable solve. Early start as children suffered early wakefulness and it was ' my turn.' I had no idea where this was going until got right to the end and reordered clue letters. Usually have a...

Ev: Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1138 -- Solvable Surely? By Ian And Steve

Enigmatic Variations 1137: Endeavour By Shark

Some quite tough clues but a great PDM and all working out nicely in the end. Fortunately it didn't go down the route I was expecting. Excellent stuff Shark. Now I'm ready for the September Magpie!

Ev: Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1133 -- Peripheral Consequence By Jaques

I think I would have found this impossible without managing to have a lucky guess about who players 1 and 2 are, followed by another lucky guess about where the various empty squares should be. Both...

Ev: Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1127 - Nightmare By Eclogue
