Prolixic prepared this special puzzle to mark the fact that the best alternative Saturday puzzle in the world has reached no 100. He has set more of these puzzles than anyone else and this time had a bit of assistance with the clue writing from Gazza and Radler who, along with Anax, Bufo and Hieroglyph, feature in the top six of the NTSPP setters table.

Another fine puzzle from Prolixic. I have to say that I didn’t spot the triple unches for which he apologises, but then I rarely notice the obvious! Slightly tougher than some of his puzzles, including some clues which were easier to solve than to explain!

The prolific Prolixic returns with another splendid puzzle which I originally solved some weeks ago leaning on a sea wall on a lovely sunny morning. Apart from having a very dense moment with one clue (I am not saying which one!), I found this very easy going and as enjoyable as all puzzles by Prolixic tend to be.
Favourite clues are highlighted in blue.

I think Prolixic is gradually increasing his toughness level – whilst retaining the high enjoyment factor – so a big thank you to him for providing me (and you) with another very enjoyable Saturday lunchtime diversion.

Another fine offering from Prolixic, albeit one I found at the more difficult side both to solve and to work out the explanations for the review. I definitely think he’s getting tougher but his puzzles are still very entertaining. My favourite in this one is 5d for the laugh-out-loud-at-the-vision-it-created.
