I think we have turned a corner in terms of difficulty. Another outstanding grid construction. The lack of unches made the task easier once the quotation was got, but the way it all tied in together...

I've filled in the grid, but don't understand "One didn't get changed, another unfortunately wasn't fit, and the last must be highlighted." Do they mean out of the twelve thematics or from...
This week's offering is "364 263 by Xanthippe" A straightforward grid fill which now leaves me with the problem of following the instructions, whilst not being an owner of the required...
Does anyone know why there is no EV thread on answerbank this week? Did everyone find it so easy? I have most of the phrase and an inkling what needs to be removed from the twelve answers but I was...
Oh boy, just seen where this one is going. Very nearly finished, but I reckon there's going to be a fair bit of drawing to do, which can wait until tomorrow! Enjoyable diversion, without being too...
Have worked out everything including the two thematic clued entries but cannot find the hidden name - presumably of 5 letters? Any suggestions where to look in the grid.

What a pleasure to have a straightforward puzzle that we could manage. This one was a pleasure from start to finish and great for us relative newcomers. I am glad there is one like this now and then -...
I have solved practically the whole of this but cannot see how the writer's name can help me resolve the remaiining ambiguity. We are to highlight a name of six letters. The writer's pen name is three...
This week's puzzle is by Raich, who last brought us "Men In Her Life", a George Eliot-themed puzzle two years ago . Nothing too taxing or out of the ordinary here, though the finish might generate a...
