Ev 1086Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations - Dance With Two Cheats By Shark

Hello EVers, My thanks go to Shark for an admirable puzzle which in my humble opinion just missed perfection with 31a as all the other words were real even taking into account the empty cells. I am...

Ev - Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1085 -Unreliable By Kcit

Good afternoon EVers, Well I have the completed grid along with altered 25a but I have not understood how the four clues work - I could have completed this with no clues to them, in fact I have done...

Ev 1082 Twosome By Moordon

Hello EVers, Today's offering was fairly straightforward, but definitely enjoyable. The grid population was a bit pedestrian, and despite that resulted in me going anti-clockwise round the perimeter!...

I think I've finished this puzzle but not totally sure ..... I think I must have either made a mistake or missed the point. I have 2 of the 7 additional letters out of order and this makes for an...

Ev Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1079 July 14Th 2013

Great puzzle even if I did rather muddle through it to start with. Not a fan of long preambles as I invariably fail to understand it all until later but definitely worth the effort today. Many thanks...

Ev Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1077 Sunday June 30Th 2013

Very enjoyable. I found the missing word harder to find than one would think but all done now. Might have a bash at CAM 69 by Schadenfreude now - that should be a challenge.

Ev Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1075 June 16Th 2013

An easy romp today with a clear preamble and no doubt at the end. Unlike EV 1072 (solution published today). I did not have the correct endgame although I had seen the word and thought it was too much...

Nothing contentious here - the link between the extra letters and the perimeter was just tenuous enough to make me think for a while. Thanks the setter.

Ev 1073 Crowning Glories By Glow-Worm

Nice puzzle, packed with thematic material. It was made a little easier since all 4 "crowning glories" use the same cluing device. Against all odds I found the highlighting, but I was (am) frustrated...

Ev 1071 -The Empty House By Nutmeg

What a cracker! Loved some of the clues - in particular 22d. A real challenge and thoroughly enjoyable, although I had just a twinge of withdrawal for a touch of highlighting. Many thanks Nutmeg.

Ev 1069 Greetings...farewell By Rustic

I didn’t see this puzzle first time around so it was a pleasure to solve it now. It was very gentle without clue gimmicks and set no doubt as an introduction for solvers not used to barred puzzles....

No, I haven't finished it (some chance!) and won't, in fact, be able to look properly at it until this afternoon. But a quick glance over breakfast showed a bad typo in the example Playfair codesquare...
