Hi again, everyone.
One week to go!
Never knowingly undersolved
A fairly challenging Friday puzzle by Phi today, on a grid accommodating a good few longer entries.
Dave Hennings’ crossword database tells me that this will be Agricola’s eleventh crossword, six in the Listener series and four Magpies.
Thanks(?) to Enigmatist.
Apologies again for the late blog. It was a slog not helped by what looked like jumbled wordplay. Is that a theme?
A fun challenge from SOLOMON
Wiglaf sets the Independent cryptic challenge today.
The puzzle may be found at https://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/cryptic/29827.
Neo is today's setter.
We have the WRONG SORT of something from Wicksparrow this week…maybe it was the wrong sort of week for my blogging turn to fall?!
Eccles is back in his usual Wednesday slot, so he’ll have to put up with me two weeks in a row.
It has been a little while, Io!
I was surprised (and delighted) to see a Brendan puzzle this morning, so soon after his recent Prize offering.
Thank you to Moo. Definitions are underlined in the clues.
Two grids for the price of one this week.
Preamble: The answers must be entered in grid 2. Every clue has a misprint in the wordplay which must be corrected before solving; the correct letter is to be entered alongside the clue label in grid 1 (e.g. for clue A next to the letter A), while the letters replaced spell a message.
Mog provides us with today’s challenge. We thought it was a while since we blogged a puzzle by Mog but on checking, someone has completed the last two Mog crosswords that we were scheduled to blog as we were away!
A fun solve with some tricky surfaces/definitions. My favourites were 4dn, 11dn, and 16/1. Thanks to Paul for the puzzle.
