I enjoyed this week’s offering from Everyman. Perfect accompaniment to a Sunday morning coffee (or two).
Everyman
Everyman 4,164
The pleasant crossword from Everyman that we are now used to. There were some nice clues and one or two I found tricky at the end; as it should be.
Definitions in crimson, underlined. Indicators (homophone, hidden, containment, anagram, juxtaposition, etc) in italics. Anagrams indicated *(like this) or (like this)*. Link-words in green.
Everyman 4,163
The puzzle may be found at https://observer.co.uk/puzzles/everyman/article/everyman-no-4163 (which seems to be no longer behind a paywall – or is it just that a cookie has expired? -; also the interactive presentation is marginally improved but still poor) or as a pdf at htpps://tinyurl.com/Everyman4163.

Everyman 4,161/19 July
Another solid offering from Everyman for our Sunday entertainment.
Everyman 4,160
As we nowadays expect from Everyman, a sound and pleasant crossword. How Everyman manages week after week to produce a grid with all those things (highlighted) in it I don’t know.
Definitions in crimson, underlined. Indicators (homophone, hidden, containment, anagram, juxtaposition, etc) in italics. Anagrams indicated *(like this) or (like this)*. Link-words in green.

The puzle may be found as a pdf at tinyurl.com/Everyman4159 or (behind a paywall or as a free trial) at https://observer.co.uk/puzzles/everyman/article/everyman-no-4159 in interactive form.

Everyman 4,157/21 June
All the usual Everyman trademarks in this Sunday’s puzzle.
Everyman 4,156
Most of the usual things are here and highlighted in the grid. A pleasant crossword from Everyman, and the only criticisms are not very major and indicated in the blog.
Definitions in crimson (?? It looks as if I’ve made a mistake in setting things: the answers are in crimson but not the definitions; sorry), underlined. Indicators (homophone, hidden, containment, anagram, juxtaposition, etc) in italics. Anagrams indicated *(like this) or (like this)*. Link-words in green.

Everyman 4,153/24 May
I got back into cryptics twenty years ago by trying the Everyman every Sunday, but didn’t always complete it for quite a time. I do remember the first time I did finish one, and got so excited that I posted it off to try to win the dictionary I already had. Failed on that account, but I’ll always be thankful to the setters of this puzzle, because here I am now blogging it once a month. And still enjoying the solving process.
Everyman 4,152
All the usual Everyman things are here and indicated (except that I’ve missed one square, which won’t bother you) in the grid. Nice crossword despite a couple about which I’m unsure.
Definitions in crimson, underlined. Indicators (homophone, hidden, containment, anagram, juxtaposition, etc) in italics. Anagrams indicated *(like this) or (like this)*. Link-words in green.
