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...
Much more of a challenge this week but strangely unsatisfying with no clear PDM - more of a muddling through to the end. I managed to fill the grid and only after the highlighting did I discover what...
Hello all Evers, Well, I promise never to publicly state that an EV was easy! This was a struggle, only a couple of gifts on the first pass through. The title and grid numbering gave me a megaton hint...
18 across is not in Chambers 2011! Understandably setters may have used previous editions when compiling these crosswords but if the preamble goes to the trouble of mentioning that a place name is not...
An enjoyable puzzle but really once you have the grid fill and letters the highlighting is hardly a challenge. Would have been so much more fun without the across misprint letters.
Pretty straightforward even in my current befuddled state: the double clues resolve easily enough. I query "our" and "hero" in the rubric, and whether the lower case writing thing...
Grid fill a little too straightforward for my liking but fair enough. Not entirely happy with the instruction though. Taken literally it doesn't seem quite right. Anybody else think this? I am...
Fun puzzle. Very clever to find 5 pairs of words that provide the thematic material in such an appropriate way. Huzzah for Kcit! Heading towards 102 today, so it's cooling off some ;( Still no rain in...
11a. old relative faces student in violent attacks, 5/3 ?R?N?/M?L the only thing that comed to mind is grand mal I would be glad of any help on this last clue.
Got there in the end after a muddled start and it all fell into place quickly at the finish. I enjoyed this puzzle and for me it had just the right amount of difficulty. I love EV Sundays!
Has anyone noticed that the top prize in the Sunday Times crossword has changed ? Its now a rolled gold fountain pen, not a solid silver one. I have won the silver pen twice before, so it would be...
This puzzle was just the right degree of difficulty for me - some have been far too easy of late. Last few clues took a while before all fell into place. However there were four wrong word lengths -...
Now that really WAS easy, though I had to work fast as I'm off out to watch England/Sweden in the company of some Spurs. Once the first of the unclued answers drops, the rest follow without too much...
I'm doing this now because that makes me the question author for the first ever time! I thought this would be tricky, but looking at the way the across answers are unfurling, I might be on to...
