They have daily regular crosswords; variety & math puzzles Friday, Saturday.
Cryptics are not always tagged as such.

A breeze but a pleasure. Some lovely clues. Thanks, syzzie.

Thanks syzygy.
Was fun.

Thanks syzygy, a most pleasant gentle puzzle for a Sunday morning.

Have done it except don't understand the second part of the meta. No worries
Thanks syzzie, good fun

The place where there were/are 15downs of [letter 1] [letter 2]

All done, very enjoyable but can't parse letters 2, 3 and 4 in solution to 2 down.

A "choice word" is "or". Plural penned (enclosed) in synonym for phony.

Doh! of course it is..... OR, a choice. I was thinking of swear words :-(

Many thanks, aristophanes.

Wasn't thrilled with this one. The meta was rather lame & overall it was rather easy, though some names in the NW didn't click all that quickly.

Re Simond9x:

Been there, done that, often.
