Hippogryph has compiled today’s puzzle to mark an important date in the sporting calendar.
RatkojaRiku
Independent 12,320 / Phi
Phi has produced his latest Friday puzzle, easing us nicely into the Easter weekend.
Independent 12,311 / Atrica
Tuesday is theme day and I haven’t solved an Atrica for a while, so I was not sure what to expect today. As it was, an enjoyable and stimulating themed puzzle lay in store.
Independent 12,306 / Brunel
It has been a while since I crossed swords (or words) with Brunel, so I was curious to know how this solving and blogging experience would turn out.
Independent 12,301 / Quince
Quince, a compiler whose work I am not that familiar with, has provided our cruciverbal challenge this Thursday morning.
Independent 12,296 / Phi
Once again, Phi takes us into the weekend with his latest puzzle.
Independent 12,287 / Crosophile
Crosphile is occupying the Tuesday slot this week, on what tends to be theme day.
Independent 12,282 / Poat
Poat is a compiler whose advanced barred cryptic crosswords I have been familiar with for a long time, but this is the first time that I have encountered him as a setter of a standard daily cryptic.
Independent 12,277 / Ringoe
Today’s crossword has been set by Ringoe, who appears to have set just one puzzle previously blogged on this site.
Independent 12,272 / Phi
As custom dictates, Phi brings the latest suite of working week puzzles to an end this Friday.
Independent 12,263 / Filbert
Filbert has produced this week’s Tuesday puzzle. It is the second time in a row that it has fallen to me to blog a crossword by this setter.
Independent 12,258 / Filbert
Filbert, whose work I encounter more often on Sundays than on any other day, is filling the Wednesday slot this week.
Independent 12,253 / Bluejacket
Bluejacket has provided our cruciverbal challenge this Thursday. He appears to be a relatively new addition to the Indy compiling team, and it is certainly the first time that I have blogged one of his puzzles.
Independent 12,248 / Phi
Phi has provided our Friday puzzle this week, bringing the first suite of working week puzzles in 2026 to an end.
Independent 12,239 / Kairos
Today sees me posting my last blog of 2025 rather later than expected, but here it is. This Tuesday sees the latest puzzle by Kairos, whose work I have rarely blogged as it has tended to appear at the beginning of the week.
