Independent 12,219 by Bluebird
Usually I enjoy a Bluebird puzzle, although they are often sneakily hard.
This one left me slightly empty.
I was fully expecting there to be a nice juicy hidden message in the perimeter unches – why else choose this grid design. Instead it is just gobble-de-gook.
Similarly, there have been interesting themes, especially on a Saturday. Again, I cannot see a theme here at all. (I do hope I’m proved wrong.)
All the while battling clues that are definitely on the hard side for me.
Independent 12218 / Phi
A normal Friday, so we have an Independent puzzle by Phi.
