So tired of seeing this theme again and again and again............ 1a revealed quickly, so I figured this would be a piece of cake, and the top was indeed quick; got bogged down in the bottom half...
Nothing too challenging in today's EV. Rather disappointing for me. A gripe gathering momentum for me is that I am all too often having to refer to my earlier Chambers to confirm meanings of proper...
If I ever knew the thematic word needed for this EV
I'd long since forgotten it!
I therefore found the puzzle very trying and unsatisfactory.
I hope fellow EVers didn't feel the same....
A fine puzzle which elicited a gruckle (groan + chuckle) at the final PDM. The method of entry for the 24 was fairly easily discovered and a lucky/inspired Google search led right to 11d and the...
I thoroughly get (I think) all of this crossword except, and probably vitally, completing the blanked off area for which I have a couple of equally appropriate words. There seems to be no way to...
Thoroughly enjoyed this puzzle. Lots going on a the same time - jumbles, extra letters, quotes and highlighting. Really kept me on my toes all the way through. I particularly liked the clear and...
Very surprised not to have a link to this opened already. Is everybody else stuck like me? It was a pleasant surprise at first not to have to find the usual extra letters but the clues were on the...
Good afternoon all. I haven't come across Wiglaf in EV before; I thought at first it was a clever anagram, but obviously I don't know my Beowulf. An entertaining crossword I thought, and some good fun...
Hello EVers, I had no knowledge of this theme and also didn't have the biographical dictionary recommended but it wasn't difficult to find on the web. This poses a problem for setters nowadays - do...
An excellent puzzle. Although I had the grid filled fairly quickly it took quite a while before I made any sense of the preamble.
A delight - thanks Shark....

Straightforward puzzle with no real difficuties. I know I'm a pedant but I make it that 15 answers produce new words however I have made mistakes with my addition before. Not too much of a...
This puzzle is a real challenge and I think it might just defeat me despite having had a full grid for some time. I'm just not getting how to replace the 10 + 2 letters at all. Perhaps a break might...
Surely preamble should state that replacements for parts of answers to 20 clues are forms of 26 across? However an entirely straightforward and unchallenging puzzle a tad on the easy side for an EV.
