Can anybody give me the tiniest hint on what to do once I have solved all the clues (which I have). I can't for the life of me see how to put 46 letters in a thematic order. Anything would be...
Well after a frustrating day where little seemed to go well or as planned, it was nice to sit down to this weeks ev. Less nice to see no numbers, but not as it turned out a disaster that soaked uP...
I think I would have found this impossible without managing to have a lucky guess about who players 1 and 2 are, followed by another lucky guess about where the various empty squares should be. Both...
Quite a tough puzzle I think, especially in the top half of the grid where I still have the odd gap, but the rest of it's come together nicely to reveal one of my favourite themes.Well actually I'm...
No, I haven't posted to say "Wow, I've finished it", I am as usual blundering along wondering what on earth is going on. What I have posted to say is "Where has everyone gone?" This used to be such an...

Quite a doozy this week but very enjoyable. Not necessary, of course, but I made copious use of the LEN, MID and VLOOKUP functions in Excel to count string lengths, pick out the Nth letter of the...
Much like last week, a perfectly fine puzzle with no end game to speak of; what to do was readily apparent so it was just a matter of identifying the nature of each clue. Still, many good clues that...
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....
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...
