The return of the pangram! In order to get every letter of the alphabet into this puzzle, there are a few awkward words. A setter that I spoke to last Saturday said that in a proper pangram all 26 letters should be checked – here J, Q, V, X and Z are all unchecked.
If this one isn’t enough for you, then have a go at our alternative puzzle, which is available at midday.

Big Dave is off on a jolly researching the latest developments in crossword theory today, so I’ve put together a few hints for the prize puzzle.
BD and Tilsit have complained often that the Saturday prize crossword, which should be the flagship product for the Telegraph, is not up to the standard of the other quality papers, and all I can say is that I agree.
Leave a comment with your views, and if you’re really stuck on a clue let me know and I’ll see what I can do. But, please don’t put any full or partial answers in your comments or they may be censored.
As usual, the full review of this puzzle will appear next Thursday, after the deadline for submitting entries has passed.
