I found this one tricky, harder than last Wednesday’s which scored a 142 on the SNITCH, but I hadn’t thought was that hard.

A puzzle heavy on wordplay, I thought, some of it seemed a little cumbersome but in every case led you to the answer.

This was a lot of fun, taking me 25 minutes with no difficult parsing, although I do have a question mark …

A quirky puzzle, I thought, with a few clues solvable from the definitions but harder to parse.

 A pleasant, light offering for a Wednesday, knocked off from top to bottom in 15 minutes.

A pot-pourri of good clues here, with several of them evoking nostalgic memories for me.

A fine puzzle with a Greek flavour, with many easy clues and a few trickier ones. 4d made me laugh, too.

I found this a curious mix of excellent clues and (IMO) rather unsatisfactory ones.

An interesting crossword, I thought, reminiscent of a Saturday and a nice surprise for a Wednesday.

I think Winnie might have had a stab at this one. Certainly Wol could have managed it.
