Ev: Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1123 -- Untitled By Samuel

I've been defeated by the EV for a couple of weeks running so it was nice to get back on track this time round. I do like it when a thematic idea is applied to all clues/ answers, especially if...

Ev 1121

Surprisingly I cannot see a thread for this puzzle. Not too taxing - I completed it without finding 8 of the 10 answers without definition.

Ev - Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1120 - Curious Cocktail By Rustic

Any, with that, we say a final farewell to Rustic's crosswords. This one had a clever idea applied perhaps as much as is possible in a grid this size. I only finally twigged the idea when I'd tried...

Ev1119: Pacemaker By Ifor

As usual with this sort of 'fit where they will' crossword, I had to solve about half the clues before I could start filling the grid. The beauty of the filled grid, though, made it all worth while....

Ev: Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1116 -- Morphed By Shark

Perhaps a bit easier than it looked (though in fairness whenever Shark is the setter I anticipate a seriously tough challenge!), but still a very lovely piece of work by Shark, and a delightful -- and...

Ev 1113: Anonymous By Gaston

Hello EVers I enjoyed this weeks offering from Gaston. I did manage to spy the theme early on in the solve. As with previous EVs, I am reluctant to erase a carefully deduced or solved light. If my...

Ev 1111

A straightforward grid fill and an interesting endgame - no grid staring for once! Not sure about 1d but otherwise all done if I have understood it correctly!

Ev: Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1110 -- Joined Forces By Ifor

A huge amount going on, but a relatively gentle solve despite that. I found some of the clues fairly generous, so was able to work out one of the replacements and then work backwards from there to...

Ev 1109 Seaside Capers By Picadilly

This was a very clever idea by Samuel. Despite getting the theme quite quickly and also deducing the quotation, it took me quite a while to solve all the clues and to construct the grid. But there was...
