Debt Crisis
Alchemi returns with a crossword that has, as a theme, the current Greek debt crisis. I was enjoyable to solve though again a little high on the anagram count (Gazza will need to take his shoes and socks off)! My favourite clue was the topical and well constructed themed clue in 15a.

Bigging It Up
Welcome back to Alchemi with a fun filled feast of anagrams (15) and other clues. The review is a little brief as I am heading off for the Cruciverbalists’ Convention (aka drinking) at the Bridge House.
There is one major theme of compartives in the crossword and an large number of games too.
My favourite clue was 13a. Drop by and let us have your comments.

We welcome back Alchemi with a gentle crossword that should not cause anyone too many problems today. Alchemi’s Guardian roots show with some more libertarian clues such as the use of forerib and legend that have to be split to get the wordplay instructions that you would not find in some crosswords.
