Hello EVers, Hope you have all managed to obtain your EV even though website is STILL down. Having been stuck on this last night I have had a second wind and breezed through this puzzle this...
I rather muddled through this one often getting the answer before figuring out why. Not my favourite theme (to say the least) but thanks to Google not hard to research. Perhaps the extra hour in bed...
Hello to EVers,
I found the clues quite tough to start but picked up speed as I got into the style - a cracking little EV and thanks to Jaques. Clever contruction....
Ggrr! 5d is not in the recommended Chambers 2011! I know it's in previous editions but why go to the bother of mentioning other words not in BRB?? Despite this I did enjoy this puzzle although I...
Hello EVers, My thanks go to Shark for an admirable puzzle which in my humble opinion just missed perfection with 31a as all the other words were real even taking into account the empty cells. I am...
Good afternoon EVers, Well I have the completed grid along with altered 25a but I have not understood how the four clues work - I could have completed this with no clues to them, in fact I have done...
A very straightforward grid fill. Mmm..... but now how to fill the barred off cells?? I'm not so good when given artistic licence....
Most enjoyable though and thanks to Chalicea....
Hello EVers, All straightforward today and an early finish mainly because I started very early, unusually due to insomnia. All in all a fun crossword with one very slight moan (pedant that I am) in...
I think I've finished this puzzle but not totally sure ..... I think I must have either made a mistake or missed the point. I have 2 of the 7 additional letters out of order and this makes for an...
Great puzzle even if I did rather muddle through it to start with. Not a fan of long preambles as I invariably fail to understand it all until later but definitely worth the effort today. Many thanks...
Very enjoyable. I found the missing word harder to find than one would think but all done now. Might have a bash at CAM 69 by Schadenfreude now - that should be a challenge.
Help! No EV on the Telegraph Crossword site or is it just me? Have they omitted the puzzle in the paper too? If they have printed one and anybody can scan and send it to me I would be very grateful....
An easy romp today with a clear preamble and no doubt at the end. Unlike EV 1072 (solution published today). I did not have the correct endgame although I had seen the word and thought it was too much...
Not a subject I know anything about (or want to) but Google to the rescue. On reading the preamble I felt a warm glow when I saw that highlighting was required this week. Not feeling so confident now...
What a cracker! Loved some of the clues - in particular 22d. A real challenge and thoroughly enjoyable, although I had just a twinge of withdrawal for a touch of highlighting. Many thanks Nutmeg.
Thought we might have have a Battle of Hastings theme as puzzle number is 1066. I suppose very loosely at least a French proverb was included. Started this very late today as I've been away and I...
