Mephisto 3408 – You’ve got me, Paul!

This was quite an easy one from Paul, except for one small point.   The answers are mostly quite accessible, even if some of the wordplay is a bit convoluted.

Mephisto 3406 – At the Edinburgh rave!

Author   vinyl1Posted on 14th December 2025 at 2:10 AM14 December 2025Categories Mephisto

Robert Teuton’s puzzle is a bit more difficult than usual, with a number of interesting words.    It took me a long time to finish, and I went on many wild-goose chases without catching any wild geese.

A Mephisto from John Grimshaw that was not that difficult, and for once many of the answer words were words I knew.

Mephisto 3402 – Have some coffee!

Author   vinyl1Posted on 16th November 2025 at 2:15 AM16 November 2025Categories Mephisto

More fun from Paul McKenna, with quite a few introductory-level clues.   In fact, the infamous top line was almost a write-in.
