Greetings from Kolkata. This Sunday, Dada set a slightly tough puzzle that I enjoyed solving. I have also written a full review of it for your kind perusal and valuable feedback. Continue reading “ST 3359 (Full Review)”
A very good Sunday morning from Winnipeg where at zero dark thirty we undertook the nonsensical annual ritual of ‘springing forward’. British Columbia has the right idea; while it did ‘spring forward’ today it will not be ‘falling back’ in 8 months time. Manitoba has said that it will wait to see what the USA does but will that wait be a year, a century, or a millennium?
For me, and I stress for me,© Dada reasonably friendly with a soupçon of quirkiness – an economical four anagrams (two partials), no lurkers, and one homophone in an asymmetric 29 clues; with 15 hints ‘sprinkled’ throughout the grid you should/might be able to get some of the checkers to enable the solving of the unhinted clues. I hope you have your Crimson Tomes at hand!
