Ev Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1080 By Owzat

I think I've finished this puzzle but not totally sure ..... I think I must have either made a mistake or missed the point. I have 2 of the 7 additional letters out of order and this makes for an...

Ev Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1079 July 14Th 2013

Great puzzle even if I did rather muddle through it to start with. Not a fan of long preambles as I invariably fail to understand it all until later but definitely worth the effort today. Many thanks...

Ev 1078

Surprised no-one has already posted, lots to keep track of here with extra words and phrases and plenty thematic entries. I enjoyed it. Is it me or are EV's getting tougher in recent weeks?...

Ev Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1077 Sunday June 30Th 2013

Very enjoyable. I found the missing word harder to find than one would think but all done now. Might have a bash at CAM 69 by Schadenfreude now - that should be a challenge.

Ev Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1076 Sunday June 23Rd 2013

Help! No EV on the Telegraph Crossword site or is it just me? Have they omitted the puzzle in the paper too? If they have printed one and anybody can scan and send it to me I would be very grateful....

Ev Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1075 June 16Th 2013

An easy romp today with a clear preamble and no doubt at the end. Unlike EV 1072 (solution published today). I did not have the correct endgame although I had seen the word and thought it was too much...

Ev 1074 Almost Without Poor Clues For Ifor

Well, I'll start the thread although I am still completely bamfoozled by the endgame. I have all the down clues solved but have yet to hit upon some consistent modifications which will fit in the grid...

Ev 1073 Crowning Glories By Glow-Worm

Nice puzzle, packed with thematic material. It was made a little easier since all 4 "crowning glories" use the same cluing device. Against all odds I found the highlighting, but I was (am) frustrated...

Ev -Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1072 May 26Th 2013 -Companions By Wiglaf

Not a subject I know anything about (or want to) but Google to the rescue. On reading the preamble I felt a warm glow when I saw that highlighting was required this week. Not feeling so confident now...

Ev 1070

Nothing contentious here - the link between the extra letters and the perimeter was just tenuous enough to make me think for a while. Thanks the setter.

Ev 1068: Bargain By Nutmeg

Of course, typically I didn't pay attention to the "use a pencil" instruction, but then I won't submit anyway so no big deal. A pleasant puzzle, with one or two ambiguities in the extra letters for...

Ev 1067 Top And Tail By Wan

Much like last week, a perfectly fine puzzle with no end game to speak of; what to do was readily apparent so it was just a matter of identifying the nature of each clue. Still, many good clues that...

Ev 1066 - Taxing By Eclogue -Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations April 14Th 2013

Thought we might have have a Battle of Hastings theme as puzzle number is 1066. I suppose very loosely at least a French proverb was included. Started this very late today as I've been away and I...

No, I haven't finished it (some chance!) and won't, in fact, be able to look properly at it until this afternoon. But a quick glance over breakfast showed a bad typo in the example Playfair codesquare...

Good fun - I wondered why only the letters in the top half were to be highlighted - and now I know!

It took a while to sort out the perimeter on this one. Eventually the penny dropped once I saw how the left-hand side of the grid would work. I've got the source on my iPod somewhere, which helped a...
