A test area for 15squared
There was only one entry in today’s puzzle that was a word I didn’t recognise. I don’t think I’ve …
A medium-difficulty puzzle from Hob today; indeed for a Tuesday this was perhaps a quite easy one. Apart from my very minor quibble in 23dn the clues are good, particularly 16ac, 6dn, 11dn and 14dn. Basil Fawlty told the American in ‘Waldorf Salad’ that he was always talking about bottoms; in the same vein I might say that there is rather a lot of sex here.
Bucko is a relatively new compiler so I was unsure what to expect. I found this on the easy side but with …
I found this more of a challenge than the usual Sunday puzzle. Very enjoyable it was too. Thanks Hypnos.
Ooo, I struggled a bit with this one. I had what felt like a slow start, but then cold-solved a clutch of …

An interesting twist to this puzzle from Crosophile – at first sight, a rather odd reference in 1AC to seven other clues. …
The last time I blogged a Kairos puzzle I was a bit grumpy about it, but I thought this was a terrific …

With spring just around the corner a tussle with Nestor beckons. Nestor’s puzzles are always good fun and this one was no …
Phi has given us an entertaining puzzle to end the working week There were a few unusual words in …
What has Donk inflicted on us? This was probably the most difficult crossword I’ve ever done, although many of the clues were very neat. It was completely filled in eventually but I got four answers wrong, and the fact that four of the clues begin “One left” and five of them begin “One right” didn’t help the solving.
Another well-crafted offering from Dac this week, but one clue didn’t seem to fit the normally excellent surfaces and wordplay. Perhaps because …
