Financial Times 15,313 – Dante
Monday Prize Crossword / Aug 8, 2016
For the second time in a row, I found the Dante offering a lot more challenging than the Rufus puzzle (at another place).

A Brexit themed puzzle from Julius, and I’m not going to comment any further on that subject! Thanks Julius and congratulations/commiserations to you as appropriate.

Simplicity with some elegance from Gurney today.
Financial Times 15,317 by BRADMAN
A good solid challenge from the Don. Progress was slow but steady and I learnt a couple of new words along the way. Thanks Don, for a workout that was more than satisfying.

Financial Times 15,315 by MONK
I always enjoy Monk puzzles, varied and entertaining. They are not as intimidating as they used to be, I no longer have any fear of failing to complete the puzzle in time for the blog (now only Io occupies this territory). Thanks Monk for another fun puzzle.

Good Tuesday solve from Armonie, a new setter to me.
Financial Times 15,311 by WANDERER
A riveting challenge from Wanderer. I was ok all the way until I reached the SE corner, where I was left to my devices trying to crack the remaining clues and needed help getting over the line. Thanks Geoff!! 27d still needs a well-parsed solution.

Monday Prize Crossword / Jul 25, 2016
While I more or less, just like others, breezed through the same day’s Rufus, this puzzle by his alter ego I found quite hard.
