You’ve missed out some of the answers in one of today’s puzzles - why?

We make it a policy not to reveal all of the answers to puzzles so that we can’t be accused of depriving income from those premium rate lines you can call to find the solutions to individual clues. If you’re stuck on an answer to a clue that we haven’t explained, post a comment giving the entire clue (including the word count) and someone will no doubt be able to help you.

Why haven’t you blogged about today’s Indie/Guardian/FT puzzle?

We aim to post every day but, sometimes, real-life gets in the way. Internet connections go down, work builds up, children need caring for and illness strikes. There’s not much we can do about that - if someone’s available to step in and provide a quick substitute blog, they will.

I solved today’s puzzle and would like to blog about it - what do I need to do?

That depends. I’m always looking for people to join the blogging team as “subs” to cover for absence - if you’re interested in doing that then send a mail to blogging {at} fifteensquared {dot} net - don’t forget to mention which paper(s) you’re interested in blogging.  I can also offer “guest” blog spots for the non-weekday puzzles we cover; this is ideal if you just want to try your hand at blogging just once and don’t want to commit anything yet. Again, send me a mail if you’re interested.

Why do give your solving times? Isn’t that just showing off?

Well, partly;-) Solving times aren’t there to make you feel bad, just to give an indication of how difficult (or not) a puzzle is. For example, if one of the quicker solvers takes 30 mins to solve, that’s a pretty good indication that it was a very tough puzzle regardless of the fact that it may be a quicker time than you’ll ever be able to manage (although with practice…)
 

How many people read the blog each day?

On a weekday, we currently get anywhere from 500 to 1000 pageviews per day. At the weekend and bank holidays, that drops to between 200 and 400. Presumably you’re all off doing exciting weekend-type activities.
 

Can you link to my site/blog?
