An entertaining puzzle which I finished but struggled to explain.

A perfectly reasonable puzzle, I thought, but not as much fun as some of recent Wednesdays.

Another fun-filled Wednesday, with some tricky parsing but nothing obscure.

This was a good one, full of unusual words and looking like it was going to be a pangram.

Another speedy romp for a Wednesday.

I made hard work of this one, having to guess a couple of phrases and idioms I didn’t know (but probably are common knowledge).

Another not-so-tricky but pleasant Wednesday, with a bit of literature and some geography to test our GK.

Another pleasant but not very demanding puzzle; even if you didn’t have the GK required, the wordplay was clear.

After the TCC semi-final puzzles which appeared on recent Wednesdays, I found this one had nice relevant surfaces but had nothing to slow me down.

The third and last of the semi-final puzzles from the TCC in October, and in my view the easiest.
