I’m back again because another stand-in has been needed. On my initial pass through the clues it was a long time before I had my first entry (10dn) but this was quickly followed … Read more >>

A nice comparatively easy Azed today — the last one I did was his P.D. at the start of May, and that took ages. This one didn’t, although it was less fun. But very enjoyable, though. 8dn?

Definitions underlined and in maroon.

AZED 2,340
A typical Azed. Good clues and the necessity for Chambers to verify all the unusual words.
The Observer only seems to have made one mistake this week, at 26dn.

Quite an easy one this week (on the Azed scale at least), which I mostly polished off in less than half an hour, apart from one or two stragglers that needed a glance … Read more >>

Azed leads us on a very enjoyable ramble though some of the lesser-used parts of the English language, places one would never find without such a knowledgeable guide. Thank you Azed.

A straightforward plain after last week’s Carte Blanche.

AZED 2,335/OPSIMATHY
Well, I learnt quite a bit. So definitely an opsimathic experience. For me. I think this was in the easy to medium range for Azed. Though I might have left a wordplay or two behind.
