We have a plain Azed puzzle this week. There is no competition and there are no controversial grid entries that I can see.

It appears that The Observer is planning to enable digital submission to their crossword competitions from 6th July for both Azed and Everyman.

Azed 2764
A reasonably quick solve for me on this one, though I raised an eyebrow at the (unnecessary) use of an outdated derogatory term at 4d. Still, thanks to Azed.
Azed No. 2,763 plain – competition puzzle
The usual pleasant crossword from Azed. I have one or two slight questions about things but no doubt they will be explained.

Azed No. 2,762 – plain
Rather more than the usual quota of four letter words made this week’s plain puzzle more challenging than some (although it was particularly easy in another way…)

A new proprietor, a new interactive interface, but the same reliable Azed. It feels as if there are fewer familiar words than usual, but despite that I managed to fill the grid fairly quickly. On the other hand, some of the parsing was a bit tricky, with 32 down proving elusive until the 11th hour. Thanks to Azed for the puzzle, and best wishes to those attending the lunch in Oxford today yesterday, which I’m I was sadly unable to attend on this occasion.
