We have completed the satisfying gridfill and identified the work in question but are finding the endgame less than tractable.
Not thinking about it for a while is probably a good idea....
And there was me hoping for a gentle one this weekend! This seemed impossible for a long time then inspiration finally dawned and things got moving. I'm not 100% certain that I've got the unusual...
Thanks to Ifor for reminding us of a controversy from a few years back. I don't think too much of a problem should arise here. It could not have been easy to find words to match the requirements of...
Finished this eventually last night, complete with Maxim and Item, but i have had to sleep on it to convince myself that what I have satisfies the preamble. Perhaps I should have had a drink before I...

An interesting treatment of a theme that I happened to come across not 4 hours ago, which certainly helped in identifying what was going on. This felt like a classic solid Listener, with plenty...
Excellent challenge beautifully constructed. Shirley Curran is always good value as a setter. Fortunately for us G spotted the quotation very early on, which helped significantly.
One word: wow! This was an incredible construction on a par with the original Quads from 2015. The subterfuge of the mutilated definitions was a new one for me, and each stage of solving was a...
A delightful puzzle that is typical of this setter. Not too difficult but always entertaining - a characteristic that is often overlooked. Thanks Hedge-sparrow
