Hob takes the Saturday hot-spot today.     All good fun as we have come to expect from this setter, with several 10ac clues. Joyce had never come across 19ac – Bert had … Read more >>

Another classic Phi puzzle this Phiday.       As is so often the case with Phi’s puzzles these days, we can’t see a theme or nina here, but that doesn’t mean to … Read more >>

Sorry Knut – you have landed us again. Not that we’re complaining! You did however give us the run-around during the solve.   It’s Tuesday and the setter is Knut so we were … Read more >>

Eccles occupies the mid-week slot this week.   We found this a fairly straightforward solve with a good mix of relatively easy clues to get us started and a few rather more difficult … Read more >>

A great Thursday challenge from Knut today.   Plenty here to get the old grey matter working. Not being football fans, we had to check 18ac but Bert had at least heard of … Read more >>

Phi-day again and another great puzzle to end the week.   We can’t help feeling that there must be something going on here, but we can’t see it. Can anyone out there find … Read more >>

Great fun from Serpent today who had us wrapped up in his devious coils quite a few times during the solve. We blogged three Serpent puzzles in a row in December and January … Read more >>

Phi day again! As usual, we enjoyed this Phi offering – in the middle of the range of difficulty we have come to expect from our Friday setter. There was only one word we … Read more >>

A great work-out from Crosophile today.       It was only when we wrote up the blog that we realised there is a theme here (although we do expect one in a … Read more >>

This is Dutch’s 5th Indy puzzle and the first we’ve had the pleasure of blogging.   We found this perhaps slightly easier than we expected for a Saturday puzzle, but a very enjoyable … Read more >>

We had the pleasure of blogging Eccles’ most recent Indy puzzle last month, and here he is again!   All good fun – nothing too tricky, lovely surfaces, and some ingenious definitions. Our … Read more >>

We haven’t seen Scorpion in the Indy since last October – this was a welcome return.   Scorpion has kept up his reputation for enjoyable but tricky themed puzzles with 11 (or possibly … Read more >>
