Another fun puzzle, this one by Vismut who was responsible for the excellent (g)UILLOTINE (h)IGHWAYMEN puzzle a few weeks ago so. when I saw it was by her, I suspected it would be good and so it turned out.

Not too difficult but after a monster of an IQ that was most welcome:-)

I agree, I really enjoyed it. Liked looking up the story and finding the thematic bits.

Yes her previous one was excellent,and, prior to that, the Tour de France one with the coloured bikes was brillliant.

Vismut has moved to No 4 in my rankings.

Hi Jigjag,

It's so often the way that we learn so much from the themes of the crosswords. I think Vismut really excels herself with this one and I totally agree about the Tour de France puzzle as well, which I didn't realise was also by her. Add that to the (h)IGHWAYMAN and (g)UILLOTINE puzzle and it's clear that she really is a master of her art:-)

In the "To enter" instructions for the crossword prize, it say "Scan or take a photograph of your filled-in grid and entry coupon" - what is the "entry coupon"?

If there isn’t a Pele based cryptic this weekend, there’s something wrong with the world.

I’m backing EV to come up with the goods!

that would be great . He is the best player I have seen. Talk of Messi/Ronaldo being as good is nonsense
