I only head a short while ago that flashling is unwell, and unable to blog, so apologies for the delayed appearance of this post (which has been produced in somewhat of a hurry … Read more >>

Financial Times 13,704 / Sleuth

Fri May 27, 2011 at 9:45 am by Gaufrid

Half of the answers went in very quickly during my first pass through the clues, the other half took somewhat longer due to some intricate wordplay in places. I am unable to fully … Read more >>

Guardian 25,332 / Philistine

Thu May 26, 2011 at 9:26 am by Eileen

Philistine hasn’t yet got a profile on the Guardian website, let alone made it to Michael Curl’s ‘Who’s Who’, so I think we can take it that s/he is a new setter. This … Read more >>

Financial Times no. 13,703 by Flimsy

Thu May 26, 2011 at 8:51 am by Ringo

Enjoyable one, this, though not too challenging. If I were feeling crotchety, I’d say that a couple of the devices were a little hackneyed – but happily I’m not (today, at least), so … Read more >>

Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of May 14 Another beaut from Cincinnus this week. My top honours go to 12A (ELMER). This may be a perfect clue: ELMER is precisely in the … Read more >>

There’s a mighty big pair of shoes to fill with Dac only appearing fortnightly, but I thought this was every bit as good as we’ve come to expect on a Wednesday. Nothing hugely … Read more >>

Financial Times 13,702 by Mudd

A pleasant and not too difficult crossword today. Yet another crossword I have solved recently from Mudd/Paul/Punk with references to ‘arses/bottoms/bums’ (17 across). This seems to be becoming something of a signature from him, make of that whatever you will. My … Read more >>
