Greetings from Kolkata. A gentle, lovely puzzle from Dada this Sunday that I enjoyed solving and thereafter writing a full review of his puzzle for your kind perusal and valuable feedback. Continue reading “ST 3327 (Full Review)”
A very good Sunday morning from Winnipeg where, on Monday, I had my annual MOT. Apparently, there is life in the old dog yet, although that is subject to the analysis of the contents of my left arm after it is ‘drained’ tomorrow and a more comprehensive test, probing my nether regions, on a date to be determined.
For me, and I stress for me,© I can’t recall using this descriptor for a Dada puzzle before, a curate’s egg – four long uns, a plethora of ten anagrams (somewhat ameliorated by six partials), two lurkers, and no homophones all in a symmetric 28 clues; with 14 hints ‘sprinkled’ throughout the grid, you should be able to get the checkers to enable the solving of the unhinted clues. And, remember, my electronic blue pencil is at the ready and the Naughty Step is OPEN!
