It’s Wiglaf’s turn in the Thursday slot this week and it’s six months since we last blogged one of his puzzles. We found this one as tricky as his previous offerings, but … Read more >>
Not an easy end to the week……
It’s Phi-day again! We have to say that, as a solve, we found this rather ‘vanilla’ – not unenjoyable, but not really very challenging. Phi’s choice of entries for the four-letter words … Read more >>
As usual, we enjoyed today’s puzzle from Knut. The theme became apparent very early on with the very straightforward gateway clue at 15ac. Several of 15ac’s film titles appear in the entries … Read more >>

A fairly straightforward puzzle from Tees today – is Thursday no longer the ‘toughie’ day in the Indy? We didn’t notice it when solving, but we realised when writing up the blog … Read more >>
Another Phi-day and another Phi, although we have to say that this didn’t feel like a ‘normal’ Phi although we cannot identify quite why. We were somewhat puzzled by the wordplay in … Read more >>
A fun puzzle from Hoskins today – mostly fairly straightforward, but with a few that got us thinking. We only realised that there was more to the puzzle when we had moreorless … Read more >>
