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

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....

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 1114 Around The World By Wiglaf

Interesting theme and a clever construction to get the clashes to come out as they did. Confirming the 6th place took a while! It's snowing today! What the heck? It was 75 degrees yesterday....

Ev 1113: Anonymous By Gaston

Hello EVers I enjoyed this weeks offering from Gaston. I did manage to spy the theme early on in the solve. As with previous EVs, I am reluctant to erase a carefully deduced or solved light. If my...
