I got back from the shops a short while ago to find that we have no Guardian blog today so here is a quick analysis of the clues. I didn’t solve this puzzle … Read more >>

Guardian Quiptic 608/Moley

Mon July 11, 2011 at 8:38 am by Pierre

A clearly clued puzzle from Moley with some nice touches – just right for a Quiptic, I thought. If anything, it’s a little anagram-heavy, but in a beginner’s puzzle, I don’t think you … Read more >>

This is a rushed post, I’m afraid, so apologies for any errors. (Also I probably won’t be able to make corrections until much later.) I didn’t enjoy this much, partly due to circumstances … Read more >>

This is one of the better Quiptics I’ve completed. Not difficult, but a balanced mix of tricks to enjoy. Thanks Orlando. (Definitions underlined in clues.) Across 1 Cab heading off to the centre of Rome? It’s taken … Read more >>

Guardian 25,365 / Rufus

I think this was perhaps just a little trickier than your average Rufus but there’s the usual mix of witty cryptic definitions and clever anagrams – and I wish I could think of … Read more >>

Guardian Genius 96 / Araucaria – A Masochist’s Delight

Sun July 3, 2011 at 1:01 am by Gaufrid

To say that I struggled with this one would be an understatement. I can usually finish a Genius in under an hour but this time it was nearly that long per clue. Perseverance … Read more >>

An easy but enjoyable puzzle from Chifonie – and for once I have a time-zone difference that makes it easy to get the post done in time 🙂 Across 1. ALLOWED ALL = “Everything” … Read more >>
