This week's puzzle is by Raich, who last brought us "Men In Her Life", a George Eliot-themed puzzle two years ago . Nothing too taxing or out of the ordinary here, though the finish might generate a...
A while since Charybdis' last Listener (The difficult "Wot no Lines?" in 2007) The grid fill here is much easier, and the quotation was got only after 12 entries. We are left with an ambiguity that...
Before my time, Merlin's last effort was "Olde Treasure Hunt" in 2006 and won the Listener's gold cup that year I bet we are in for a toughie! Anyone who wants a copy email:...
Not too difficult a challenge this week, but I found the highlighting a little disappointing because of the lack of symmetry: a time-invariant version, omitting the central symbol, would have allowed...
A little later than usual getting started with this. Initially I found this a bit of a slog, but once the theme emerged, it all fell into place quite quickly. All in all, an enjoyable solve, but I...
As I've been told yet again by the Answerbank that I have not been on line recently (wrong) I will start this thread! This week's offering is S by Hedge-sparrow.
Morning! (or should I say that in French?) This weeks listener is "Half a Dozen" by Nibor Tough one this week to fill the grid because the inserted letters are randomly placed. Liked it because it was...
This week's offering is "Overhead Reduction" by Schadenfreude. No mention of colouring, but apparently scissors, paper, adhesive and a straight edge will be required. Hmmmm !
Evening all. I hope you don't mind me setting the ball rolling this week. This week's puzzle is by Lavatch and has another hefty preamble. Good luck everyone...
Hope nobody minds me starting this week's thread. Lengthy preambles aside I've made ok progress with this so far but still a lot to do. Some good clueing and the whole thing looks extremely...
Greetings to all. I was fortunate in having some free time this evening to enjoy this excellent offering from Elfman. Some excellent &lit clues here, I thought. When I recognised the verse, I had to...
A fine crossword from Zero as always. The grid filled fairly quickly but the thematic material is excellent. As usual the grid and clues have been forwarded on. If anyone else would like a copy:...
After last weeks colourful and interesting diversion (think my times tables are in much better fettle now!), thought I would start this weeks thread off, if I may. This certainly looks like an...
Maybe all our prominent members are resting after last week's exertions, so I'll kick off this week's thread. Haven't had more than a glance at it yet and am not too familiar with this setter.
Still no link, of course. But another that relies heavily on cold solving. And a lovely nod for the Classicists amongst us in the use of "boustrophedon". I suspect more such will...
