The closing date for this puzzle was also postponed from the usual following Saturday until today, for obvious reasons. I was surprised not to spot anything thematic this week, despite the puzzle being … Read more >>

Sloggers and Betters in Belfast — postponed?

Tue January 12, 2016 at 3:01 pmMon January 4, 2016 at 12:36 pm by jetdoc

Unfortunately, and due to the usual ‘circumstances beyond our control’, our visit to Belfast has been postponed. So neither Dave Tilley nor I will be there this weekend. We don’t yet have a … Read more >>

Mon January 4, 2016 at 9:18 am by Andrew

If Rufus has made any New Year’s resolutions, then “use fewer cryptic definitions” clearly isn’t one of them. Seven here (and four doubles), several of which I find pretty weak. Still, I know … Read more >>

It’s Christmas and like the strange man at the back of the night bus Cyclops shows us a worryingly large monster. As expected, there is a theme and this is spelt out in the preamble: … Read more >>

Independent 9105 Anax (Sat 19-Dec 2015)

Another solid puzzle from Anax. This was not as hard as some I have seen from him which is just as well given how busy we all are at the moment. Only 6 answered … Read more >>

The preamble states that: In one way or another 20,9 is missing from each clue. Our first one in was 21d – INNARDS which actually turned out to be incorrect but it took … Read more >>

I think this is the first Everyman that I have had the opportunity to blog. I don’t solve many in this series, perhaps one a month, and so cannot really comment as to how … Read more >>

This Christmas puzzle employs a device that I don’t remember Azed using before. The special instructions state: “In the completed diagram, eight words in jumbled form may be seen radiating from and including the central square, which must be deduced”.
