Ev 1140

An enjoyable puzzle though not too demanding once the entry device is discovered. I am at a loss however to see the definition of 36d. Seems it is just a surname that is to be highlighted?...

Enigmatic Variations 1140

Ev - Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1120 - Curious Cocktail By Rustic

Any, with that, we say a final farewell to Rustic's crosswords. This one had a clever idea applied perhaps as much as is possible in a grid this size. I only finally twigged the idea when I'd tried...

Ev1119: Pacemaker By Ifor

As usual with this sort of 'fit where they will' crossword, I had to solve about half the clues before I could start filling the grid. The beauty of the filled grid, though, made it all worth while....
