Also, I started to run out of ideas for themes. They took, on average, three times longer to write and I’m not sure the effort was worth it. I used to write thematic puzzles where the solver required little, if any, knowledge of the theme. I stick with a convoluted idea if it’s justified, but try to limit these in any particular puzzle. I’ve listened to editors and posters on forums and tried to simplify where possible. My early clues tended to be quite lengthy and sometimes a little convoluted. Same philosophy now? Anything else changed? We discussed length of clues last time we spoke. Since a setter’s style settles over time, this is the first in a Checking In With series. It’s a fun exchange, as you’d expect, but it strikingly opens by telling us that “he has now contributed five ”. Here is our Meet the Setter Q&A with Tramp.
