Never knowingly undersolved
Hypnos and I haven’t met for ages and this pleasant simple crossword shows that he hasn’t lost anything. Nothing much to say really: just a whole lot of sound and very satisfactory clues. The Wednesday standard set by Dac is being maintained.
Definitions underlined and in maroon.

The Saturday schedule and the blogging cycle is aligned! I get Klingsor again same as I did at his last Saturday outing, which is no bad thing. This time, solving started as before … Read more >>
