Ev 1048 Missing Title By Nutmeg

A fine puzzle which elicited a gruckle (groan + chuckle) at the final PDM. The method of entry for the 24 was fairly easily discovered and a lucky/inspired Google search led right to 11d and the...

Not finished it but pretty sure that there is a bar missing in 47a so it becomes 6 letters.

EV 1034

Has anybody finished this? Got a full grid, the message and the four double defnition clues....and no idea what to do next. Found it tedious.

EV Single Shot by kcit

I found it very difficult to get a toehold into this one, given the mix of clue types. I think I had one grid entry after 15 minutes. But, plugging away finally paid off once the theme was revealed. A...

EV 1030 - Swimming Aid by Rustic

Not too difficult with a little twist towards the end - quite enjoyable. However yet again 2 entry lengths are incorrect!

29d. What's common to his and her hearts? (4). I have ?ISH, not totally certain about the S. Obviously several words will fit, but where is the definition?

EV 1014 Two of a kind

Well it's done but not one of my favourites (although the theme is!) - I thought the seven were somewhat less than thematic.

Almost there - I have the character and only 17d and the intersecting unclued entry to find. Is the A of 23 in 17d? I thought CREEDS for 17d but can't fit that in....
