Dac’s back in his Wednesday slot again this week.     We found this a little trickier than your average Dac, but it eventually all fell into place, aided by the expected excellent … Read more >>

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 >>

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 >>
