Sheer joy! And wholly agree with her sentiments....skilfully put together, and with many a clever clue amongst them (particularly liked 32a and 17d). As ever, gridfill speeds up after PDM and with...
A fun puzzle, I thought. The theme was unknown to me, so some Googling once the message from the omitted letters was clear was needed. Wikipedia to the rescue. A little more work was needed to get all...
This has be tremendous fun. Many thank Jaques, I too is typtoing in grammar's footstep's. (Actually finding the message about what solver's mus't do symmetrically helped enormous - smile!)
Very well crafted grid with some devilish elements. Clues not too difficult but quite a lot of cold solving required before one can start hazarding any sort of gridfill. Much enjoyed the PDM after...
Good grief, I can't believe I'm starting this thread off! I thought this was an excellent puzzle by Wan. Very clever how the clues read on the surface and still produce real words after the...
Sheer joy from start to finish. What a splendid original idea. We had to be really organised to keep track of those different types of clue but have loved this solve. Thank you Zag!
What a long preamble, but what a fun puzzle. It took me a few minutes to get what the down message was telling me, but the P D'd, all was clear. Thanks hedge-sparrow.
Whilst one might argue about some of the clueing, and several ambiguities in extra letter(s), there is no doubt whatsoever that the endgame is most elegant. A real tough test, just about worth the...
Surely not! Me starting a thread on a NUMERICAL. What fun to have a numerical with an endgame. Of course, we can't thank Ruslan but this was nowhere near as tedious and horrible as numericals usually...
I found this relatively easy with steady progress right through to the end. Nevertheless I think it's an excellent Listener, completely sound throughout. Thanks, Raich.
This must be our quickest solve ever! What a delightful little compilation by KevGar. We tumbled to the theme with the first solution and have enjoyed it thoroughtly so far. Gentle, indeed after some...
This was tremendous fun from start to finish - from that hilarious title with all it suggests, right to the pdm and lovely endgame. Sheer magic, Flying Tortoise!
Now that really WAS easy, though I had to work fast as I'm off out to watch England/Sweden in the company of some Spurs. Once the first of the unclued answers drops, the rest follow without too much...
Great fun. Not overly complex clues, so grid (sort of) filled quite quickly. PDM for endgame likewise followed apace, and then needed some careful thought to justify all ten modifications, producing...
Another great puzzle from the mathematical master ! Solved all the down clues first, then the acrosses. Then it was great fun cutting and glueing little "dice" to get the answer - thanks...
