A proper workout this week - tough clues throughout, even with clear definitions, but an impressive endgame - thanks Wan! I had a couple of false entries which hampered me for a while, and I still...
Another odd one here. There were some terrific clues, and enough entries to get in quickly. The moving words were nicely done, and none too obvious. I really enjoyed the solve, and a nice PDM as to...
At first I thought this was going to be a doddle thanks to some generous clues, but it wasn't at all. Stumbled on the theme fairly early on but working out the message from the extra letters,...
A good challenge from one of the most experienced and prolific setters. Some quite simple clues but plenty of others to keep you on your toes, especially with the alterations going on.
Thnks Phi...
I’ve had the pleasure of testing a couple of Vismut puzzles, though not this one, and she does write some wonderful clues. The clue gimmick where both the misprints and corrections are used is very...
Well - that didn't take long at all.
Entry level (if that), but interesting enough thematic material and a little fiddly at the very end just to keep people on their toes.
Thanks Agricola...
A lovely puzzle, thanks, Tiburon. I do like a bit of cut and paste when we are neatly guided to the final arrangement as here.
Season's best to all....
Daresay I'm not the first to post on this but happy to have assembled a full grid with a reasonable hunch of what the final highlighting will need to reveal but as yet to tackle the final stage....
An absolute monster of a puzzle, in the best way. It was challenging at every stage, but there were generous touches (getting some impression of where clashes were and figuring out the thematic name...
Not a bad puzzle although some of the 3 letter entries made it difficult to ascertain the extra letter. Initially I had a perfectly acceptable alternative answer for 29ac. Not my kind of theme at all....
No doubt there's a thread lurking, not yet appearing in AB search, though I've looked hard enough... I failed at the first hurdle - I couldn't find the puzzle! It's usually at the bottom of the home...
Having been away on holiday a lot recently and playing catch up with numerous crosswords that we do and just about got there, this was a pleasing puzzle to solve. Neatly constructed and entertaining...
I'm surprised there isn't a thread ... perhaps there is, and the Search facility is failing again. I finished this puzzle last night which must be a first with Sabre and tells me it wasn't as...
Are we the first? My daughter and I enjoyed this introduction to a little known theme while waiting for the beef to cook (rare). Ingenious use of the instruction. Thanks Mr E, now we have time to...
Either the thread is hiding again or I'm up here first, which I find a bit unlikely. Either I made a complete dog's dinner of this or it was quite difficult to sort out. Devotees might be on to this...
