Everyman 3419/ 15 April 2012

Posted by Pierre on 22nd April 2012

Pierre.

Another pleasing Sunday morning solve from Everyman, with a wide range of references.  Fewer anagrams than usual from this setter, but still an accessible puzzle with a nice range of cluing devices.  And I learned a new word, which is always welcome.

Posted by Stella on 8th April 2012

Stella.

First of all, a Happy Easter to all, and a farewell, at least for the time being, as I find myself unable to live up to my compromises with 225, so have decided to renounce them.

Everyman crossword No 3,411

Posted by Stella on 26th February 2012

Stella.

A quick solve, but none the less enjoyable, with some delightful surfaces which raised a few smiles. The two straightforward long central across clues were a great way in. There were a couple of unfamiliar solutions, but the clear wordplay made them perfectly gettable.

A typical Everyman – nothing too elaborate, well-constructed and varied clues, with the odd bit of general knowledge thrown in, which should be gettable even if you are not the general who knows it.

The Trafites.

Nick:   Sorry for the lateness of the blog this morning, but we have had a pretty poor week with bad colds/flu (and me working nightshift), Lorraine has to babysit her grandchildren, and what with one of our tropical fish about to snuff it, the crossword blog got overlooked on Friday/Saturday – anyway, here we are.
