6:09. A remarkably gentle puzzle from Robert this week, but none the worse for that.

I did this in bits and pieces, during a disjointed day, so I don’t have a feel for how hard it was.

Quite enjoyable, with no serious problems, and I particularly liked the smooth meld of anagrist with creative anagrinds.

We seemed to go around the world a bit in this puzzle.

9:06. I had no problems with this fun puzzle.

Once again the drug reference was a mystery.

This was a romp! By which I do not mean it was terribly easy—where’s the fun in that?

I did myself no favours by essaying ARC at 14 ac as my opening shot.

11:26. I didn’t find this too hard but when I came to write up the blog I found that there are a few things I don’t quite understand.

I actually don’t remember much about this one, but I think it was mostly straightforward. The exception as always was the obscure foreign word clued as an anagram.
