Featured crossword No 14

Thanks PostMark for a superb crossword whose theme I fortunately discovered with my second solution, 9a. Great clues all throughout with my favourites being 15a, 18a, 1d, 4d, 24d, and 27d. Impressive grid fill given the number of thematic entries.

Great stuff PM, got 22d first so realised the theme early on which helped along the way. A couple I didn't know (my ignorance!). Enjoyable succinct surfaces/constructions and a pangram to boot! A nice start to the day. Top picks on 225...

Thanks PostMark. My first two in were 2d and 9a which clearly indicated the undefined which helped with my LOI, 7d. Favourites for me were 9a, 11a, 25a,31d

Very nice, PM, and a fitting MyC feature. 9a, 11a, 18a, 13d, 22d and 31d (COTD) my picks.

Marvellous! Once I’d got past the “interesting” grid design 😆 further comment over there ->

Greatly enjoyed this, PM. I'll comment on 15^2 in a bit. Thanks for the fun.

Another super puzzle, PM. Thanks for the entertainment. I cottoned onto the theme pretty quickly, but then managed to miscount how many I had got, leaving me expecting a themed entry for my LOI, which then wasn’t! Loads of great clues, but my faves are: 9a, 18a, 21a, 7d (smooth), 24d (nicely done!), 31a.

Top notch- rock-solid setting and delightful artistry! An absolutely worthy featured puzzle. I love the left-field elements in your synonyms and usages- nothing unfair but nothing routine. Favourites by a nose were 8a! 9a, 11a, 7d, 10d (neat synonym), 13d, 22d, 24d! 27d, 31d. Many thanks!

Excellent crossword, thanks PM. Some lovely homophones for oddly spelt words like 1d, 24d. Too many favourites to list. And a theme that was approachable. Great stuff!

Lovely puzzle. Looks like there is a clear theme. Thanks Mycw and PostMark

Lovely stuff, thanks PostMark. Enjoyed the theme and found the definitionless clues very fair (I failed on one, but that was user error 🙂). Favourites were 18a, 23a, 10d, 28d and 31d (excellent).

At first I couldn't see any way in, but after I got 22d the penny started to drop. Lovely trickiness and fun surfaces made this a real pleasure. Hard to pick faves but 15a,22a (FOI), 25a,31a, 1d,6d,14d,16d,24d were especially delightful. Many thanks!

Hi PM I'm late to the party but please to have such a treat to o end my week. I can only echo everyone else's congratulations and appreciation of your artistry. Tricky to pick favourites but perhaps 9a, 18a, 4d, 14d, 27d and 31d. Cheers!

Sorry to be late, but, yes, as others have said, this was great. I struggled a bit with the 'trick' at first but a couple of reveals did the trick and pushed me in the right direction. 31d is brilliant, the rest are great. I really enjoyed 14d, 25a, 11a, 18a too
