Bert and Joyce are sharing the blog write up this week and we are slightly at odds with our feelings about the puzzle. The solve was thankfully fairly quick, for which we were … Read more >>

It’s Tuesday so we were expecting something slightly out of the ordinary. What’s more – it’s our first blog of an Eimi puzzle!   When we saw that the puzzle was by Eimi … Read more >>

As we have come to expect, another great puzzle from Dac with the usual smooth surfaces. We had never come across 18ac or 18d before, but the wordplay was clear enough and an … Read more >>

It’s Thursday so we thought we might be in for a bit of a challenge. We then saw that that it was a Donk puzzle so we thought we were in for a … Read more >>

Another Friday, another Phi! So that’s all good then!   We thought that this was a ‘hoot’ of a puzzle. Apart from a ‘little’ problem we finished it fairly quickly and a few … Read more >>

We always look forward to solving and blogging an Anax, so it was with great anticipation that we sat down to tackle this one. Unfortunately, however, we felt it didn’t quite live up … Read more >>

Well, we were ready for a Thursday toughie, and then we found it was an Anax today – always a good challenge! 1 across had us really worried – not a good start! … Read more >>

We cannot believe that four weeks have passed by and we are blogging a Phi puzzle again. Not that we are complaining …… We enjoyed the solve and think we have everything sorted … Read more >>

Regular solvers may remember Donk’s last puzzle, which we were very lucky to blog on January 9th –  a real tour de force. In our opinion it would be very difficult to beat … Read more >>

Another Wednesday, another Dac and we’re not complaining. As RatkojaRiku said in the blog last week, it is always very difficult to pick a favourite with Dac’s puzzles. Last time we blogged a … Read more >>

This was an enjoyable solve – thanks Monk! As usual, there were some lovely surfaces and a few tricky ones to parse including 17ac, if we have sorted it out correctly. Strangely, there … Read more >>
