Ev 1117: Metre Cube By Oxymoron

Hello Evers, As soon as I saw this week's setter I rather sensed a rather loud sigh of resignation from Devadolly in the NW! However I found the clue-ing very fair and quite quickly populated the...

Ev 1112

First post on a Tuesday? A cracking puzzle I thought. The toughest for a while and not an easy theme for our non uk solvers to find out about I suspect. Getting the 2 long entries is the key but that...

Ev 1111

A straightforward grid fill and an interesting endgame - no grid staring for once! Not sure about 1d but otherwise all done if I have understood it correctly!

Ev: Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1110 -- Joined Forces By Ifor

A huge amount going on, but a relatively gentle solve despite that. I found some of the clues fairly generous, so was able to work out one of the replacements and then work backwards from there to...

Ev Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1108: Dreams By Rasputin

The main penny-drop moment came on approximately the second clue I looked at, but the endgame is certainly worth filing the grid for. Any grid packed with 60/144 cells predetermined by thematic...

Ev1103 - Snapshot By Nod

Are there no other EVers this week? A tough slog from Nod, which became a lot easier once I guessed the two words of the Playfair phrase that were in the grid. A good challenge, but perfectly fair...

Ev 100 Compere By Oxymoron

Not a surprising theme, but clever execution, sly title, & remarkable that only real words fill the final grid, so everything you'd expect from Mr O., I suppose. A balmy 25F today after several nights...

Fairly straightforward once the penny dropped - having said that 25d remains to be solved.
