This I found quite hard overall. Some easy answers but some very obtuse ones as well. I foresee great gnashing of teeth in the comments. I got drawn into quite a few dead ends, which accounted for much of my over-target 9 minutes
| Across | |
| 1 | House here in France on the sea (6) |
| MEDICI – MED (sea) ICI (‘here’ in France) | |
| 4 | Left under wraps, cry out (6) |
| BELLOW – Under is BELOW, which ‘wraps’ L for left. | |
| 8 | Notice one in tirade incandescent (7) |
| RADIANT – AD (notice) + I inside RANT. Hands up who wasted ages looking for an anagram of TIRADE + I? | |
| 10 | Article by one German backed woman (5) |
| ANNIE – AN (article) + EIN backwards | |
| 11 | Area near ship in ocean depths (5) |

| LEOTARD – TOE is a member, reversed, inside LARD | |
| 13 | Hawk-eyed old British man (9) |
| OBSERVANT – O + B + SERVANT | |
| 17 | Diet? Army unit shedding tons! (7) |
| REGIMEN – REGIMEN[ | |
| 19 | Run with Russian runner for country (5) |
| RURAL – Russian ‘runner’ i.e. river, is URAL, add R for run at the beginning | |
| 20 | River close to port and dock perhaps (5) |
| TWEED – T (end of ‘porT’), + WEED | |
| 21 | Say why lover no longer unattractive? (7) |
| EXPLAIN – cryptic definition | |
| 22 | Stronghold and loch in order (6) |
| CASTLE – L for loch inside CASTE for order. Another cul-de-sac trying to find the anagram of LOCH IN. | |
| 23 | Beer feeding explosive ability (6) |
| TALENT -ALE inside TNT | |
| Down | |
| 1 | Broken arm nursed by men he’s tailed (6) |
| MERMAN – anagram (‘broken’) of ARM inside MEN | |
| 2 | Gladly send dog out to find insect (5-4-4) |
| DADDY-LONG-LEGS – anagram (‘out’) of GLADLY SEND DOG | |
| 3 | Frame way to describe Princess Royal? (7) |
| CHASSIS – CHAS SIS. The sister of ‘Chas’, or as we call him His majesty King Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. | |
| 5 | She inspires weary author regularly (5) |
| ERATO – alternate letters. One of the nine Muses of Greek mythology, inspirational goddesses of literature, science, the arts and crosswords. | |
| 6 | Arsenal get act sorted in former FA location (9,4) |
| LANCASTER GATE – anagram (‘sorted’) of ARSENAL GET ACT. Former headquarters of the Football Association before they moved to Wembley Stadium, but I don’t know how anyone is supposed to know that. | |
| 7 | Uses energy in remote region (6) |
| WIELDS – E inside WILDS | |
| 9 | Play patience (9) |
| TOLERANCE – double definition | |
| 14 | Old general has a hold over father (7) |
| AGRIPPA – A + GRIP + PA. Roman General 63-12BC | |
| 15 | Cold in HGV? Extremely so! (6) |
| ARCTIC – C inside ARTIC. | |
| 16 | Revolver English brought into factory (6) |
| PLANET – E inside PLANT. Hell of a definition. | |
| 18 | Duke drawn in by dinner gong (5) |
| MEDAL – D for duke inside MEAL | |
I struggled to finish within my 15 minute target and made it with only one minute to spare. On reviewing the puzzle now, I’m not sure why. I didn’t know that LANCASTER GATE had anything to do with football of course but I know the place well so I had no problem coming up with it. Elsewhere I don’t associate ABYSS with the sea, but Collins has it as ‘a subterranean ocean’ in its ‘American English’ entry.
Reply
Chambers @ 6 gives ‘the depths of the sea’ for the noun, and for abyssal, ‘very deep or bottomless, esp of ocean depths’.
Re blogger’s cul-de-sacs perhaps 8A could just about lead to I in TIRADE*, but at 22A the nounal anagrind suggested in that reading would surely offend Times style.
Reply
LANCASTER GATE was a write-in. Graham Kelly was always being reported as being there througout the 80s. I knew those years of reading Match (never Shoot) would pay off. Enjoyed ‘revolver’ defining PLANET and like AGRIPPA too. But TWEED was favourite. I once spent a summer on an organic farm pulling dock out of an enormous field by hand, the most fun bit was driving the tractor back to the yard once the trailer was full – so that was two high points a day. All green in 11.
Reply
I managed to finish this but at times it felt like I was doing the 15×15! But, an enjoyable quickie to end the week even if it was anything but quick (for me). Liked Medici, Bellow, Observant and Explain. COD and LOI to Chassis.
Thanks setter and blogger.Reply
Reading the blog I scrolled quickly to CHASSIS as it was the only clue where the wordplay escaped me and chuckled upon reading.
Smiley faces against RADIANT, RURAL and PLANET though there are many other fine clues from FOI DADDY-LONG-LEGS to LOI WIELDS.Reply
Top quality puzzle with some tricky definitions (MEDICI and MERMAN) but the clear wordplay pointed me in the right direction.
Spent time looking for a football stadium ending in ‘lane’ but other than that no real hold ups – although the parsing of CHASSIS was far too clever for me, even having stared at it for a while post submission.
Started with RADIANT and finished with WIELDS in 7.08.
Thanks to CuraristReply
Yeah, tough, 17.39 is more than double my usual target. Thanks Curarist for explaining CHASSIS, I had absolutely no idea what was going on. LANCASTER GATE (NHO) had to be painstakingly constructed from the anagrist, and that plus Brit-centric references like HGV and artic made for a slow solve. Slow but enjoyable, thanks Wurm.
Reply
Ooh very difficult for us and only found chassis with the help of a solver, then parsed immediately on getting the only option that meant frame. Around 46 minutes all in.
One of those days where we got a little momentum in each corner only to quickly grind to a halt.
Also wasted a couple of minutes about halfway through looking (in desperation) for the missing hidden, but turns out there isn’t one.
Remembered Lancaster Gate from TV news items back in the day.
We parsed explain as ex = lover no longer, and plain = unattractive.
Like daddy long legs.
Thanks Wurm and Curarist for the parsing of castle which was one of many biffs
Reply
Ditto re parsing of EXPLAIN
Reply
A steady albeit slow and slightly distracted solve, 24 mins whilst also looking out the window to assess the options for the day. Thanks for the explanation for parsing CASTLE and CHASSIS, both of which had to be, but evaded me at the time.
On another day several of the clues might have tied me in knots, but the clueing was fair if challenging, especially in the vagueness or obscurity of some of the definitions, MEDICI and MERMAN to start with.
LANCASTER GATE was where naughty footballers went to be told off, fined or worse, but hardly a well known location generally. Very clever to get the anagrist so well incorporated into the clue however.Reply
DNF. Gave up on the 4A/7D intersection after 7 minutes or so. Multiple alpha-trawls didn’t help. COD to CHASSIS .
Reply
Yes that was a good clue, I had ANNE pencilled in the centre there and was wondering about CHANNEL before finally doing a rethink
Reply
EXPLAIN! aha the poor ex 💀
I DNF this, mostly because of all the tricky definitions and red-herrings made it unbiffable (except Daddy Long Legs)
I definitely tried to find an anagram of tirade+I, Curarist!
Wow what a week
Reply
I thought of you when I saw LANCASTER GATE, which I felt was almost viciously unfair to non-sports fans generally, let alone overseas solvers more or less en bloc.
Reply
Honestly I revealed that one immediately, BUT I do think it is an OK clue because it is an anagram and with some checkers you can kinda work it out. Like, the wordplay is clear with what you have to do.
Reply
I didn’t find this too hard in that I finished in around my average time. But it felt hard and I had to trust the wordplay (or my biffing) a few times (eg LANCASTER PARK and CHASSIS).
Some good clues though, and the anagrams helped my biffing.Reply
12:39, didn’t know about Lancaster Gate and I had Lane pencilled in at the end till the N of ANNIE made that impossible. Then I saw Gate and worked the anagram out, which finally gave me BELLOW and LOI WIELD.
Reply
It appears to be about 5 days in a row that there has been no automatic “Congratulation” upon completion. Why? It’s a small point but I’m a lazy so-and-so, and forget to immediately check the time!

22:03, Club looks busy today
LOI LANCASTER GATE where I needed a pen, as I had only considered Lane for the (4) which meant considering that old ground Sangacter Lane, perhaps where some relagatee like Workington or Barrow played.
Also had Marten for “he’s tailed”, with the broken arm. Also Trent for Tweed (rent always catches me out in crosswords)
The fact that I thought ERATO a write-in tells me I’ve been doing these too long.
Liked MEDICI
Reply
Another 40 minuter needing plenty of lateral thinking but with lots of enjoyable PDM clues like MEDICI, BELLOW and MERMAN.
Nice to see REGIMEN for diet making another appearance this week.
LOI: WIELD
COD: TWEED
Thanks for the workout and the blog.Reply
6:51. Held up by the NE corner in the end with BELLOW and WIELDS my last 2 in. I enjoyed CHAS SIS, and the wordplay for ERATO. Inspirational goddess of crosswords, indeed. Thanks Wurm and Curarist.
Reply
20 minute DNF (3, 8 & 20 not solved). Enjoyed the fair misdirections (8 and 22 ‘anagrams’) but not so much the very hazy definitions: ‘runner’ for river? ‘Russian flower’ might have been more QC-appropriate? ‘Revolver’ for planet is a stretch too (I doubt anyone will find ‘it’s in the dictionary’ for this one!)
‘Old General’ for AGRIPPA is a bit vague but maybe Mr Wurm assumed since he’s had said general clued twice before as ‘Roman commander’ it was time to tighten the screws.
Hidden in there were some gems – EXPLAIN (parsed as the Roundabouts did above), LANCASTER GATE and ARCTIC.
No complaints – just a bit tough for me. Felt like a workout that was ‘good for me’ rather than one that was particularly enjoyable.
Reply
I made heavy weather of this and threw in the towel after half an hour with a mostly empty grid. Distracted by other things on my mind and could not warm to Wurm.
Thanks CuraristReply
Agree with Roundabout Here for parsing of EXPLAIN. PDM and smile when I’d worked out CHASSIS. Tough but fair QC. Thanks Curarist and Wurm
Reply
8:15
Fortunately knew of LANCASTER GATE as the (former?) home of the FA. Some chewier stuff here with MEDICI/MERMAN and BELLOW/WIELDS corners but COD to my LOI CHASSIS – for ages, I toyed with TIRADE + I and wondered whether RADIENT was an alternative spelling, but eventually found the right combination, then looked for the definition in the final answer, before fitting it to the wordplay – very good!
Thanks Curarist and Wurm
Reply
17:38 (The pickled ear of Robert Jenkins displayed in Parliament, leading to war with Spain)
Another hard one. For 9d I was convinced that ENDURANCE was a play, which made the I+Tirade anagram for 8a even more probable. These took a while to sort out.
LOI was WIELDS.
COD to CHASSISThanks Curarist and Wurm
Reply
This was enjoyable and LANCASTER GATE sprang readily to mind when thinking of FA locations, a sign of age I guess. COD CHASSIS, this induced a smile which is very unusual at this time of day.
Reply
I expect some people get irritated with me going on about clues favouring older solvers but Lancaster Gate easy me – my lad would have no chance! I did think I was unlikely to finish but I ground it out in the end. Agree with Curarist – thanks though!
Reply
The perfect quick crossword for me, with all clues delightfully presented, no bifs apart from the insect, and enough thinking required to stave off boredom. COD to CHASSIS, made me laugh. NHO LANCASTER GATE, but solvable from the crossers. I can’t honestly see the point in doing a crossword that one can complete in 4 minutes.
Reply
40:18
Gosh, that was tough! Nearly gave up on several occasions but the answers kept coming, just very slowly. NHO LANCASTER GATE or TOLERANCE as a play and failed to parse CASTLE and CHASSIS. LOI TWEED.
Reply
TOLERANCE isn’t a play, it’s play as in wiggle room or permissible range between values.
Reply
Thank you for explaining TOLERANCE. I biffed it and didn’t understand the double definition.
Reply
So did I and neither did I; I just assumed someone must have written a play called “Tolerance”.
Reply
More tricky stuff here today. Somehow LANCASTER GATE had entered my consciousness, so didn’t take too long once some crossers were in place. MEDICI was FOI. MARMOT was my first thought at 1d, but I couldn’t shoehorn MOT into the wordplay. CHASSIS raised a smile. Last 2 in were BELLOW and WIELDS. 9:36. Thanks Wurm and Curarist.
Reply
An absolutely first class puzzle from Wurm.
CHASSIS was my LOI and my clue of the year so far, but MEDICI, MERMAN, BELLOW, WIELD & ERATO were all superb.
Hurrah for Wurm, and thanks Curarist.
6:23
Reply
Another technical DNF, with aids needed for Chassis and Bellow, the latter prompting Wields, so in reality short by three today at the 30min post. I used to think of a Wurm as a quirky but interesting puzzle, but of late they seem to be steadily drifting towards the harder end. CoD, from those completed, to 11ac, Abyss. Invariant
Reply
Take a bow, Wurm, for a number of pooh traps and a witty feel to the whole grid. For a long time I thought 3d was going to be CLASSY or CLASSIC until I parsed OBSERVANT and then I was stuck with that final S. Thought of CHASSIS but simply couldn’t parse it! Duh – so obvious when it’s explained (thanks to Curarist). But my favourite was LEOTARD – can’t get that fat dancer out of my head! 22 mins so SCC by the window.
Reply
Bearing in mind some of the times posted so far, I think I must have been on form today finishing under target at 8.33. My LOI was CHASSIS mainly due to the fact that in my haste I somehow managed to spell RADIANT with an E instead of an A. I needed to correct the error first before CHASSIS came to me.
A very up and down week with three under target and two way over target. My total time for the week was 63.40 (including a non finish) giving me an average time of 12.44, my worst for a while.Reply
22 mins…
This was hard, but I really enjoyed it and thought there were some clever clues. Saying that, I nearly got off to a bad start by biffing “Maison” for 1ac without properly parsing it; something that became apparent when realising 2dn was the ubiquitous “Daddy Long Legs”.
Particular favourites included: 23ac “Talent” (of course beer has this ability!), 1ac “Medici” (once I realised what it was getting at) and my COD 3dn “Chassis”.
FOI – 11ac “Abyss”
LOI – 1dn “Merman”
COD – 3dn “Chassis”Thanks as usual!
Reply
I found this hard but enjoyable and thought I had crossed the winning line in 15 minutes having successfully parsed CHASSIS, MEDICI and MERMAN only to find an error in 4A.
I couldn’t work out the wordplay and I thought the solution must be YELLOW i.e. YELL OW for cry out (in pain) and ‘left under wraps’ could describe a plant or something similar which had turned yellow through lack of light. D’oh!
Reply
Actually my first thought was YELLOW, too, but I rejected it on the grounds that it seemed too loose a definition compared to the rest of the puzzle, which was spot on.
Reply
I started slowly – just 4 solved on first pass through the acrosses – but LANCASTER GATE and DADDY LONG LEGS were write-ins which opened up the grid very nicely and despite falling into both the “anagram – oh no it isn’t” traps Curarist found, I came home in just over 12 minutes. Which reading the comments above seems like a good time for this one.
It did seem quite a UK-centric puzzle – I agree with LindsayO on his points – but to balance that the idea of Princess Anne being called “Cha’s sis” just reeks of Aussie informality! No stiff-upper-lip true-blue Brit would ever say such a thing.
Many thanks Curarist for the blog.
CedricReply
Cedric there is no universe in which the concept of Chas or his sis would make sense to anyone, even the most demented sorry ardent royalists like Tony Abbott, in Oz, informally or otherwise. Just sayin’…
Reply
12.18 This felt quite tough. The parsings of CASTLE and CHASSIS were beyond me but it was a lovely puzzle. Thanks Curarist and Wurm.
Reply
I really enjoyed this until my LOI. It may have been a write in for some but LANCASTER GATE required a lot of juggling and all the checkers in play. Like Merlin I considered a lane until BELLOW and WIELDS (late solves) put paid to that idea. FOI RADIANT and LOI the former FA location. I had a good chuckle at CHASSIS. 8:35
Reply
Another toughie. Needed help to get CHASSIS, BELLOW (had YELLOW at first) and WIELDS as I couldn’t parse them. Thanks for enlightening me!
Reply
If you can work from the cryptics, clues like Lancaster Gate are eminently solvable – you don’t need to know anything about football. First one I tackled, I just took Med and ici – look what I found. The only ones I biffed were daddy long legs and chassis, but I had to stop and parse chassis to make sure it was right.
Time: 12 minutes
Reply
Yeah imo Lancaster Gate is much more gettable even if you nho it than say Chassis when you’ve never heard of Chas.
Reply
According to Google, there are various Charleses in Oz who call themselves Chas?
Reply
Lovely QC but needed two sittings to complete. Struggled particularly over LEOTARD (needed the L from TOLERANCE), MEDICI (wrong definition) and LOI CHASSIS (made me smile when finally solved). Favourite clue was TWEED. Parsed EXPLAIN as Roundabout here. Also liked BELLOW/WIELDS. All seems fair with hindsight but I did have to persevere. All very enjoyable. Thanks C and Wurm.
Reply
14:40, which is quicker than it seemed at the time. I enjoyed this one a lot but needed help parsing chassis.
I was pleased to see a reference to Agrippa, who I vaguely recalled from a children’s book. It was a very old book full of instructive tales such as “Harriet and the Matches”, in which little Harriet plays with matches and burns to death, and a small boy whose name I forget who sucks his thumbs until a monster cuts them off. Blood-thirsty stuff, which I enjoyed very much as a junior Wombat. Might raise a few eyebrows these days.
Thank you for the blog!
Reply
I had to look that up!
“The English Struwwelpeter or Pretty Stories and Funny Pictures for Little Children”
Harriet is the subject of the third story, page 13 in this pdf:
Reply
That’s the one, well spotted. I’d forgotten about Harriet’s poor cats!
Reply
My father-in-law (born 1901) had this book but different edition – Struwelpeter was on the front cover. Delightfully gruesome tales, all of them! The German ballad of Max and Moritz by Wilhelm Busch is in similar vein – they end up chopped to pieces in a hopper and fed to the chickens they had delighted to tease!
Reply
I think my version came from my grandfather, born in 1908. It’s definitely the sort of thing that my dad’s side of the family would approve of: firm ideas about how children should behave, leavened with a penchant for dark humour. I shall have a look for Max and Moritz!

Old book = Strewelpeter

That’s it, thank you!

Am I the only pedant here who thinks Wurm doesn’t know his Insecta from his Arachnida?? (Edit – i see, also different in the UK)
Lancaster Gate hard for non-poms, but eventually fell in.
Thanks Curarist and WurmReply
Yep, what Americans call a daddy-long-legs, we call a harvest spider or a harvestman; to us a daddy-long-legs is a cranefly, which is apparently sometimes called a “mosquito hawk” or “mosquito eater” in the U.S, although they don’t eat mosquitos.
Reply
Finished all correct eventually in two goes, but found it difficult. LOsI were LANCASTER GATE (no idea about FA, just biffed from anagram and crossers)and also biffed BELLOW and WIELDS. Fortunately we had the latter and R. URAL recently. Liked MEDICI, ABYSS, ARCTIC, AGRIPPA, PLANET, TWEED and FOI MERMAN.
Biffed LEOTARD and DADDY LL early on. COD CHASSIS made me smile.
Thanks vm, Curarist. Glad I persevered.Reply
I started slowly, getting very few of the across clues on first read through. The downs proved more accomodating but then mopping up the last half dozen or so clues was quite time-consuming. It all led to a completion time of 22 minutes which I was reasonably happy with. I managed to parse everything except DADDY LONG LEGS which was a write-in after getting just the g of REGIMEN and I didn’t bother to check the anagrist. I needed almost all the crossers for LANCASTER GATE despite knowing it was an anagram (just like I “knew” 8ac was an anagram!).
FOI – 12ac LEOTARD
LOI – 15dn ARCTIC (took far too long to see what was going on here)
CODs – lots and lots of excellent clues. I liked LEOTARD, EXPLAIN, CHASSIS and LANCASTER GATE, the latter for the way Wurm has produced such an apposite anagrind.Thanks to Wurm and Curarist

Beyond my ken
Reply
I found this one pretty easy, but maybe some of the GK was a bit obscure. I got ‘Lancaster Gate’ straight away, but I’m a bit of a football nut: it hasn’t been the FA headquarters since 2000, when they moved to Soho Square before moving to Wembley in 2009.
Didn’t like the clue to CHASSIS; I can see what it’s trying to do, and it was easy enough especially with the checkers I had, but doesn’t the wordplay give you “CHASSSIS”, i.e. Chas’s Sis?
EDIT: apparently both ~”Chas’ sis” and “Chas’s sis” are gramatically correct, but given how Chas’s sister would be pronounced (as if one would commit such an act of lèse-majesté) I would always use the “Chas’s sis” spelling in this case.
EDIT 2: I’ve hardened on this one: the spelling should follow the pronunciation: Chas’s has two syllables and so the ‘s ending is correct.
Reply
Totally agree on Chas’s Sis. Can’t believe anyone would say – or even write – “Chas’ Sis” even if there are grammatical justifications for it.
Reply
15:00. Wow, MERMAN , MEDICI, CHASSIS all great fun. LANCASTER GATE luckily just on the very edge of my GK, as was HGV/ARTIC. RURAL and REGIMENT were helped by having appeared recently. Well, I just assumed there was a play titled TOLERANCE and sure enough I see there is one, a fantasy based on Oscar Wilde’s The Selfish Giant! Of course TOLERANCE meaning play( in the sense of our recent ELBOW ROOM) is what I should have seen.
Reply
Several minutes had passed before my first clue (OBSERVANT) went in and I feared the worst at that stage. Fortunately, the following clues proved less daunting and I found myself in the strange situation of having completed the whole of the bottom half of the grid, whilst not having entered even a single letter above half-way.
The first top-half clue to succumb was RADIANT, which enabled me to solve the DADDY LONG LEGS anagram and I was able to build on the available checkers from there.
MERMAN and ERATO were both NHOs. I DNK TOLERANCE and I could not parse CHASSIS. Still, I managed to finish all correct in 28 minutes, so I mustn’t complain.
Many thanks to Wurm and Curarist.

Pretty good time.
There is a sad poem called The Forsaken Merman. Admittedly mermaids are more popular in fiction.Reply
13:30, pleased to be within my target. FOI BELLOW, LOI LANCASTER GATE, where I also played with “lane” as the second word for a while. No one clue stands out as my COD: too many to choose from.
I smiled to see REGIMEN clued as “REGIMENT – T” today given that we had the opposite on Wednesday.
Thanks to Wurm and Curarist.
Reply
Enjoyable puzzle, thanks Wurm
Reply
Unbelievably I made the same mistake as yesterday, thinking I had finished when I had one clue to complete. How moronic is that?
I’m in so much of a hurry to get a decent time that I end up making these idiotic oversights.
Clue I failed to enter was CHASSIS. Would I have got it from C-A-S-S?
It’s academic now and, in any event, I took 27 minutes, so a bad day regardless.
My total incompetence with this is summed up by 1ac. I spent ages trying to put EN (French for in) into the answer instead of ICI. When I tell you I’m no good at this, I really do mean it.
A horrible week. Three DNFs and no SCC escape.
I’m now going to torture myself with the big crossword, although I’m really not in the right frame of mind.
Thanks for the blog.

A Shocking Day today 😧 Wurm is my new nemesis. And I got utterly stuck on the biggie too.
I did most of this in the morning (as per usual) but got stuck on my last three – BELLOW, CHASSIS and WIELDS – before going out for a long lunch. On my return, I saw CHASSIS, but still couldn’t see the last two so abandoned ship.
I’m confused about CHASSIS – is this part of the new regime that is allowing setters to use other living people apart from the monarch? Does it make it ok if they are only one degree of separation from him? A bit sneaky, I think. And also, as discussed above, not very grammatical. Clearly everyone else liked it, but – to echo former poster LouisaJaney – it got a GR from me!
However, there were quite a few that I did like – MEDICI, ERATO and PLANET all got ticks or smiles.
It was all so long ago that I can’t remember my FOI or LOI, but TWEED got COD.
Thanks to Wurm and CuraristReply
Same three as me. I’m convinced Wurm’s getting harder . . . or I’m getting slower
Reply
Hmm – I’ve always found Wurm wiggly (as we know!) but I was definitely slow today 😅
