Happy these haven't moved over to impossible. We were ready to spend a weekend on it - but happy not to!

Ashore. Nice puzzle. I think February is over, and this is a suitable level of difficulty for the first week of the month.

Do these get harder as the year goes on? I always thought the difficulty was random.
It is random.

Ashore. Like those who have already posted, it seems a bit too easy, but I guess I'll take it. Everything seems to work.

Ashore.

I don’t think we’re related, but Joanne and I were on the same wave length. The meta was fun, but how about the puzzle itself. Well clued, no crosswordese, no glue.

Well done.
