EV 1009 Rash by Kcit

Quite a challenging puzzle this week, between extra letters, clashes and redundant definitions - and one completely normal clue. An inspired guess at the 11-letter across led me to the quote and lots...

EV 1007

In my opinion an excellent puzzle, fun clues and clever misprints, for me, much more enjoyable than yesterdays Listener.

EV 1006 - Connecting Flight

Hi fellow EVers You are probably as disappointed as I am by this EV. It has to be the easiest one I've ever done and I wonder how it came to be accepted for publication. EV is supposed to be a step up...

EV 1005

In my opinion one of the hardest for a while - tough clues and a fun end game - one or two wordplays still escape me though.

EV 1004

Quite a straightforward offering - I am a little unsure why the 5 cells are "aptly displayed"

Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1001 Sunday January 15th 2012

I was going to say another easy one but 14a still eludes me - is Bari a misprint?

EV1000 Dollars Also by Rustic

A real disappointment for number 1000; the theme is trivial and the proof reading poor - the number of letters in 9 across is wrong and in 35 across the number of letters is missing. This is one of...

EV 1000: Dollars Also, by Rustic

Hello EV N&Cers, No problems here today. In fact in a previous thread there were suggestions that were close to this EV's theme. Interesting that it almost carries on from last week's theme. I'm...

EV 999 All Change by Loda

Happy New Year to all EVers. My New Year resolution - to try and find time to tackle every EV - and so far I have kept to that! A gratifying puzzle to start 2012. Must apologise for my non-appearance...

EV 998 Nativity by Oxymoron

Hello EVers, I didn't like alll the cold solving involved with this EV, especially given the extra letters or words! Then to find there is actually a dilemma around one of the entries needed to...

EV 995: Needed by Ozwat

I'm surprised to find I'm starting the thread as this particular puzzle was pretty straightforward after a few tricky ones. I thought last week's wouldn't have shamed The Listener. No real surprises...

EV 994

Am I the first one to post on this - or have I missed the thread? By no means an easy EV this week, with clashes and misprints complicating matters. But definitely worth pressing on with as there is...

EV 993 Mind the Gap by Ifor

A fine puzzle, although a lot of cold solving required before you can really get going. Getting the 10 & 11 letter words helps a lot. Clever of Ifor to include 2 grid numbers as part of the...

EV 992

Quite straightforward this week, but no less enjoyable for that. One small error, I think, in that we need the second and last letters from one of the 'extra' words, rather than the second and fourth....

EV 988 Pairs by Oxymoron

What a nice puzzle. Very clever way of handling the themed entries, with some pop culture references not normally seen in these sorts of puzzles. Good fun.
