Ev 1048 Missing Title By Nutmeg

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...

EV1037 - Men Are Fools by Won

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...

EV 1036 - Approximate & Appropriate by Moordon

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.

Hello EVers, I always chortle at the name of this week's compiler, but expect a tough work-out. This week was no exception! As ecpected, had to work on the periphery, then, sort of encroach onto 12d!...

EV 1030 - Swimming Aid by Rustic

EV 1024 - Two Drifters by Nudd

Got there in the end after a muddled start and it all fell into place quickly at the finish. I enjoyed this puzzle and for me it had just the right amount of difficulty. I love EV Sundays!

EV 1013

Good fun and a clever grid - I have sorted the 10 letter one but the 11 letter one seems to have 3 possibilities for the highlighting none of which seems to me to be "roughly appropriate"

EV1000 Dollars Also by Rustic

A real disappointment for number 1000; the theme is trivial and the proof reading poor - the number of letters in 9 across is wrong and in 35 across the number of letters is missing. This is one of...
