Monday Prize Crossword / Sep 14, 2015

I’m afraid that I cannot remember much of what I felt when solving this Dante crossword. When writing the blog, I wasn’t particularly bewitched by many of the inevitable cryptic definitions.

A perfectly innocent-looking crossword filled with mines and boobytraps to catch out the unwary (of which I was one). Thanks Alberich!

A good fun Gaffle this Friday. Thanks to Gaff for yet another twisted challenge, albeit on the easier side relative to some of his earlier work that I have encountered. Quite a few subtraction anagrams in this one. Progress was slow and steady with the SW corner holding me up in the homestretch. Parsing for 15ac continues to elude me.

Monday Prize Crossword / Sep 7, 2015

Armonie’s crosswords mostly appear on a Tuesday but this puzzle made once more clear why many solvers think he is the ideal week-opener.
Easy, concise and accessible, generally smooth surfaces and surely no trickery.

This was a tough challenge from Neo that tests your general knowledge as much as it does your ability to decipher the clues.

Been a while since I saw Hamilton on a Friday. Today’s FT challenge was meaty, refreshing and in parts, fiendish. I had to refer to googling to confirm a couple of my solutions, and still have one clue whose complete parsing eludes me. In all, a very welcome challenge so thanks to Hamilton.

Monday Prize Crossword / Aug 31, 2015

Some might say ‘just another Dante’ but this crossword took me a bit longer than usual (mainly due to the SW).
