An excellent challenge from Sabre, and certainly had to use all the available information to make headway on this. Full quotation and author only revealing itself right at the end.
I'm still a bit uncertain of the misprint for the fifth letter of the name, but have no qualms about the rest. Some nice clues, and a satisfactory endgame. Many thanks, Colleague. Now back to tracing...
Can't find an earlier post.
Quite a challenge from Wan with some tricky wordplays and misprints/extra letters. Highlighting not too difficult if you have an idea where to look.
Thanks to Wan...
I've searched bu apparently there is no Friday club for this very difficult offering by Sabre. I just got 17acr so I've finally finished. Phew! One of the hardest of the year, for sure. Thanks Sabre!...
How sad to see the last puzzle by Radix. Of course he treats us to a range of devices. We have just found the source with a great sigh of relief but still have lots of systematic calculation to...
What a brilliant use of the circular grid. This has been a remarkable piece of compiling and an extremely difficult puzzle which became easier as we progressed (suddenly dramatically so!)....
Oh what a challenging one. I don't know how anyone gets to the full grid (as we have just done) without the help of devices. Now we are enjoying sorting out the godly mix up. Many thanks, Stick Insect...
One of those frustrating ones where the last four clues took as long to sort out as the rest of the clues and the theme altogether. Apart from those four, it was all pretty clear, so thanks Ifor. I...
That was quite a work-out. I admit to firing up the spreadsheet to help with the sorting, and once I'd got the theme and saw what had to be revealed I left a few loose ends till this morning. Some...
Searching this site hasn't found any other threads for this puzzle, so here goes! I thought this was the toughest puzzle for some time. It took me several hours last night before the penny finally...
This was a very clever idea by Samuel. Despite getting the theme quite quickly and also deducing the quotation, it took me quite a while to solve all the clues and to construct the grid. But there was...
A very pleasant way to end the year. Grid is chock-full of thematic material, and despite the multiple gimmicks it wasn't too difficult to break into the clues, probably a few very generous ones to...
Thanks for a good challenge, Kea. It was a nice challenge to determine the answers that had extra letters and not easy to get the two items from the extra letters. I am a bit concerned about what I...
Enjoying this so far. I have a full grid but, as yet, don't understand the instruction. Think I'll leave it till tomorrow, as inspiration often comes after a break....
