Ev 9Th April 2023

Tls Acrostics

When was there last an acrostic in the TLS? I used to enjoy them as a change from the crosswords. Was there a policy decision to cease acrostics, or are they just short of setters?

Is there a TLS crossword in the July 31st issue? I can't see it on the web site.

I've just tried to access the latest puzzle in Prospect, and get a "Database Error" message. Does this mean they have blocked off access to the puzzles for non-subscribers?...

Times Crossword Club

Is anybody else having problems with the site this morning? For me it hangs for ages, and then produces a white screen -- no time-out or similar message. It was OK earlier today.

Listner No. 4455: Silence By Mynot

It took me a little while to spot what was needed in the top and bottom rows, but apart from that a reasonably straighforward offering from MynoT. I was lucky in getting the big word across the middle...

Listener No. 4453: Army & Navy By Shackleton

I made heavy weather of this at first, and admired the way some of the misprints were quite deviously hidden. I was lucky in the end-game, spotting a likely anagram which turned out to be correct: I'm...

Listener No 4450: Bank Transfer By Calmac

Must have been my quickest ever solve -- but no complaints, as I have a busy weekend. Very straightforward clues, and filling the grid without any obscure words is quite a feat of setting. As ever,...

Listener No 4449: Whoppers By Nutmeg

Having discarded my pun-rich first draft of my posting, which would have broken our self-imposed rules, I'll confine myself to thanking Nutmeg for an entertaining puzzle. Nice accessible clues, but...

Listener No. 4447: Influence By The Tall'n

Listener No. 4446: Edwardian Pioneers By Dysart

Listener No. 4445: Strange Requests By External

I was lucky in that several of the extra words stood out, for me at least, fairly clearly. Clear but not too difficult clues, and plenty of direction to an unambiguous finish. Good fun, and a few...

Listener No. 4443: Not The Rockies By Kruger
