i Cryptic Crossword 1965 Raich
May 26, 2017
Another puzzle that wasn’t too difficult but provided a thoroughly satisfying diversion for this sunny Friday morning. Seven anagrams may be considered a bit over the top by some but I enjoyed them all and with only a couple of obscurities, 21a and 23d, which were clearly clued so as not to hinder my progress it was all over a bit too quickly. Plenty of ticks though 21a was very good and 19d made me smile but

Over in a flash, but it is an IoS reprint, and was thoroughly enjoyable while it lasted. A gentle week in the i, perhaps because we’re getting reprints from the New Year period when Eimi is probably conscious of time constraints and none too clear heads. 🙂
Good, wasn’t it? Hardly the red meat Cornick and I have been predicting, but a tasty luncheon nonetheless. Sneaky definitions for common words always go down well with me, so 15ac put a smile on my face.
Would have helped if I’d spelled intellegentsia correctly!
Not very intellegent…
Similar experience to yesterday’s, wasn’t it? Just as enjoyable and my only problem was trying to think of a kind of collage to fit 11a. Then I found my glasses.
Interested to see ‘regularly’ used to indicate odd rather than even letter selection in 17a – unusual, that.
