Guardian Prize No 25,466 by Araucaria

Sat November 5, 2011 at 12:05 am by bridgesong

A largely delightful and allusive puzzle, with several laugh-out-loud moments, but also one or two quibbles. I’d particularly welcome suggestions for the word play at 11 across and 26 across. I found the … Read more >>

Guardian 25,471 / Tramp

Fri November 4, 2011 at 10:06 am by Eileen

I’m certainly not complaining today at having landed the third of a recent handful of a setter’s puzzles to blog! This time it’s Tramp and, in fact, this is only his fifth Guardian … Read more >>

Guardian 25,470 / Orlando

Thu November 3, 2011 at 10:28 amThu November 3, 2011 at 9:50 am by Gaufrid

A very quick but pleasant solve for me today even though there were a couple of previously unfamiliar answers (18ac & 13dn). Not being a fan of historical fiction, I had also not … Read more >>

I have solved many puzzles by Paul in my time, and have blogged a Gaurdian Genius by Paul, but I don’t think I have blogged a daily one since I started blogging Guardian … Read more >>

Guardian 25,468 – Brummie

Tue November 1, 2011 at 3:23 pmTue November 1, 2011 at 2:23 am by Uncle Yap

Today’s mini-theme is not exactly my forte nor my cup of tea, resulting in me spending more than an hour to solve. However, the answers are gettable from the wordplay. ACROSS 9 IAMBI … Read more >>

Guardian Cryptic 25467 Brendan

Wed November 2, 2011 at 2:29 amMon October 31, 2011 at 11:18 am by scchua

We find an unexpected Brendan for today’s crossword, and which is also a bit harder (especially the SE corner) than the usual start to the week. Perhaps there is something going on…. The crossword is … Read more >>

Guardian Quiptic 624/Moley

Mon October 31, 2011 at 8:54 am by Pierre

A Quiptic from Moley that was a mixture of tricks and treats … We’ve remarked many times how hard it must be to produce an ‘easy’ puzzle. This one was generally accessible, with … Read more >>

Guardian Prize Puzzle 25,460 by Bonxie

Sat October 29, 2011 at 9:01 amSat October 29, 2011 at 12:00 am by PeeDee

I don’t think I have blogged Bonxie before, I found this one enjoyable and a nice level of difficulty, not too hard or too easy. Lots of colours in the answers, but not … Read more >>

I’d not heard of the long (53 letter!) solution to 16 et al, but managed to fill it in at the end. Impressive as it is to fit such a long phrase into … Read more >>

Guardian 25,462 – Araucaria

Tue October 25, 2011 at 3:38 am by Uncle Yap
