EV 1047 - X Marks the ???? by Rustic

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...

EV 1028 Small Change by Piccadilly

18 across is not in Chambers 2011! Understandably setters may have used previous editions when compiling these crosswords but if the preamble goes to the trouble of mentioning that a place name is not...

EV 1026 - Going Global by Chalicea

Grid fill a little too straightforward for my liking but fair enough. Not entirely happy with the instruction though. Taken literally it doesn't seem quite right. Anybody else think this? I am...

EV 1025 13 Down by Kcit

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 1020: Loss by Samuel

Hello everyone, I had a sinking feeling when I did the first pass through the clues looking for gifts! I found the clues hard, but fair in retrospect. Hopefully someone will confirm the answer lengths...

EV 1017 Epilogue by Oxymoron

I rather muddled through this cleverly constructed puzzle guessing how down entries were entered before knowing how across entries were entered. However a couple of slapdash entries held me up for a...

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"

EV 1007

In my opinion an excellent puzzle, fun clues and clever misprints, for me, much more enjoyable than yesterdays Listener.

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...
