Ev 1060 - Change Of Title By Oxymoron

I enjoyed this puzzle and it kept me gripped right to the end but I do have some moans on editing: Bar missing from penultimate row 5d should be marked as 2 words 39a should be marked as hyphenated...

Ev 1059 Down Under By Chalicea

Hello EVers, I started off quite well, solving clues more or less in clue order. Came to a crunching halt in the SE sector, but sorted after a while! Then spotted a "string" of letters that helped....

Ev 1058 Principle By Jaguar

A nice puzzle up until the very last step which I felt was borderline unfair. The gridfill was straightforward as was identifying the group. But, the Chambers entry for the group identifies two...

Ev 1057 Market Loan Bu Moordon -Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1057 Sunday February 10Th 2013

Very early finish today for me today mainly because I guessed the theme early on to 16a. I'm not sure how difficult this would have been otherwise. Clues were not challenging although it's a nice...

Ev 1056 Winter Festival By Kcit

So tired of seeing this theme again and again and again............ 1a revealed quickly, so I figured this would be a piece of cake, and the top was indeed quick; got bogged down in the bottom half...

Ev 1055 - Hot Water By Jaques

How can they possibly describe the quotation as "2,3,4,5,6&7"? I make it 2,1,5,6,4,1,2,9,5!...

Ev 1054 - Connections By Salamanca

Nothing too challenging in today's EV. Rather disappointing for me. A gripe gathering momentum for me is that I am all too often having to refer to my earlier Chambers to confirm meanings of proper...

Ev 1053 - Making A Point

If I ever knew the thematic word needed for this EV I'd long since forgotten it! I therefore found the puzzle very trying and unsatisfactory. I hope fellow EVers didn't feel the same....

Ev 1051 - Map By Raich

A good solid EV although I more or less had to get the four answers before I worked out how their clues worked as the 17 letters only helped after the event. Very enjoyable, although it would have...

Ev 1050 - Double Entry By Nudd

Happy Christmas EVers. Unusually no postings for this puzzle so far. Perhaps we do have lives beyond the EV after all and we are all busy doing Christmassy things. However I did have some time this...

Ev 1048 Missing Title By Nutmeg

A fine puzzle which elicited a gruckle (groan + chuckle) at the final PDM. The method of entry for the 24 was fairly easily discovered and a lucky/inspired Google search led right to 11d and the...

EV 1047 - X Marks the ???? by Rustic

I thoroughly get (I think) all of this crossword except, and probably vitally, completing the blanked off area for which I have a couple of equally appropriate words. There seems to be no way to...

EV 1046 - Author by Piccadilly

Thoroughly enjoyed this puzzle. Lots going on a the same time - jumbles, extra letters, quotes and highlighting. Really kept me on my toes all the way through. I particularly liked the clear and...

EV 1044: Seven Things by Wiglaf

Good afternoon all. I haven't come across Wiglaf in EV before; I thought at first it was a clever anagram, but obviously I don't know my Beowulf. An entertaining crossword I thought, and some good fun...

Hello EVers, Pleased to have finished this puzzle in good time as I'm out to lunch today. All very fair but once you have the theme everything falls into place far too quickly. Last week Devadolly won...

EV 1036 - Approximate & Appropriate by Moordon

Surely preamble should state that replacements for parts of answers to 20 clues are forms of 26 across? However an entirely straightforward and unchallenging puzzle a tad on the easy side for an EV.
