What new is there to say about Dac? This was one of his easiest, many of the clues not really very different from those in The Times Quick Cryptic, but the surfaces were as always perfect. I wondered if Dac was amusing himself by having all clues with their definition at the beginning — certainly this seemed to be the case at first — but it soon became clear that he wasn’t.

I think we have a debut puzzle here from Daedalus. Unless he is Logodaedalus in disguise. Unlike Daedelus’ son in Greek legend, …
As is usual from Tyrus this was a pretty hard puzzle. Maybe not as hard as 8776 back in November which …
