Lette set a few Independent crosswords in the first half of 2025, but this is the first for nearly a year.

Independent 12,352/Kairos
Kairos is a long-standing but now occasional setter for the Independent. A pleasure to see his name crop up on my watch, because I’ve always enjoyed his puzzles.
Independent on Sunday 1,889/Filbert
Being a regular blogger for the Independent on Sunday puzzle means I get to tussle with Filbert often. And it is a tussle: as usual, this took me two goes. But it’s always satisfying to complete because this compiler’s work is invariably marked by impeccable setting and fine surfaces.
Independent 12,351 by Phi
Phi is moved to Saturday this week to make way for Coot’s celebratory puzzle yesterday.

Independent 12,349 / Knut
Knut has provided this week’s Thursday puzzle. It is a long time since it has fallen to me to solve and blog a puzzle by him.
Independent 12348 / Eccles
It’s two weeks since we had an Eccles crossword, so it is no surprise to see his name today.
