What a delightful piece of work, on a theme that I've been playing around with myself and which I will now have to shelve. Some of the thematics led to a lot of head scratching on the grounds that I...
Grid filling up nicely, but now at a standstill with SW corner. One letter or word must be removed from each clue before it can be solved 33a Eve cultivated rice in temperature of shallow water (7)...
A step up in difficulty here. We've floundered our way to a complete grid with crime fighters, an item of clothing and a set of villains, though I am not sure which one is the appropriate one to...
I have a nice full grid, but not a clue what's going on. I don't want to know what the solution is, just that someone out there has seen a regular pattern (or whatever) that makes sense of the thing....
Hi I've got all (bar two) of the grid filled in, I have identified the 'major figure' and have the name 'famous in a different field' BUT I have no idea what name this 'confirms' to be written below...

Could anyone tell me the preferred method of sending the Eye solution via email? Can it just be in written form, ie., "Across. 1. xyz 2. abc", etc., or does it have to be submitted in a...
I'm stuck on 2 things:- 9D Ed's frozen because of your capsizing (5) FROR? M has to be left out of wordplay. Is it FRORE, FRORN or FRORY. All mean frozen (I take it the Ed refers to Edmund Spenser)....
Do I get to call firsties this week? I thought this was a nice puzzle. It was a lot easier to get the keyword than I thought it might be, and once you have that everything falls into place pretty...
This is what the listener is all about. As soon as I saw Kea's name at the top I knew this was going to be good. This was a real challenge, the like we have been missing recently. Masterful...
In a way typical of what we expect from Dipper, although harder than recent efforts. Initially a quick start developed into a much slower finish. I enjoyed tracking down the herbs but I thought the...
