EV 961, Whither Goest Thou? by Charybdis

Back on the toughie track this week, for me anyway. I spent quite a bit of time convincing myself on several of the wordplays - I knew what the extra letter had to be but couldn't see where it was...

EV 958

Hello EV N&C Wine Clubbers, This took me longer than normal. How the 7 cells from 14 clashing answers were to be treated hit me with a glimmer rather than a blinding flash. How elegant that the...

EV 957 Products by Samuel

What a fun puzzle. The final step of turning the interim product into the final product made me laugh. Lots of thematic material and some well concealed misprints - bravo and huzzah!

Enigmatic Variations 951

Finding this one tough going. Amendments to the clue entries makes this virtually a cold-solve in many respects. I am down to the last 5 clues, but have been stuck for a while. I guess the lack of...

EV 949 : Square By Square by Piccadilly

Much easier than it looks from the pre-ramble, as clueing is very straightforward (for once you barely need the BRB) and should quite quickly lead you to theme. Extreme care needed in final grid-fill...
