A record of our attempts at solving DA.

DA Reports for the 18/19th of May, 2012

Tell us about your exploits with DA this week right here.

Update: A fun one, and despite what some others have said, I at least found it difficult!:

DA Reports for 11/12th of May, 2012

Spread the joyous DA word right here, right now.

Update: And here’s the glory:

 

DA Reports for the 4/5th of May, 2012

Get on the good foot with this week’s DA and tell us all about it here.

Update: And here it is:

 

DA for the 27/28th of April, 2012

My first DA for my 33rd year — like always, I expect it to be fun.

Report on your findings here (but no spoilers until Monday).

Update: An interesting theme:

DA for the 20th/21st of April, 2012

It’s my last weekend as a 32 year old, and I’m celebrating by participating in a surprise flash mob at a 40th (I don’t think anyone who will be going to the 40th reads this blog…)

Hopefully I resist the temptation to sneak a peek at the DA during the festivities, although I also hope that the DA will be so good that I can’t resist the temptation.

Update: And here it is:

DA for the 13/14th of April, 2012

How much more frightening is it to do a DA on Friday 13th, Sydneysiders?

Greakster is upon us, and maybe it’s this week, the real Easter weekend, that DA brings us a bunny-related crossword (etymological treat for the day: Easter comes from Ēostre, a female pagan goddess whose festival was celebrated around and about, and from whom words such as oestrogen also derive).

To make things even more happily coincidental: the Tigers will probably win this weekend.

Update: The Tigers did indeed win, as did most of us DA Trippers it seems:

Is GLIMPSE the finest hidden clue in a very long while?

Some very easy definitions to get you going, and then the trickiness. KNIFED was a bit harsh, I thought, as was ILL.

No matter: we had LOO and GLIMPSE and GALAH.

 

DA for the 6/7th of April, 2012

Here’s to the early Easter (the real one’s next week) and to a rollicking DA for the break.

Report about bunny rabbits and DAs here.

Update: Not one for the childless:

The charms of this one were lost on me — although I did enjoy ESCHER.

DA for the 30th/31st of March, 2012

Happy times because, as of this week, I get to do my DA while watching football.

Yes, the AFL is back, and so is DA.

Update: Took me a while before getting going:

DA for the 23rd/24th of March, 2012

Sweet DA comes to town again this week.

Talk about it here (but without spoilers until Monday).

Update: I feel like I’m losing my DA mojo — he seems to keep getting harder to me:


DA for the 16/17th of March, 2012

This week I’ll be attempting to finish off the DA in the middle of a buck’s weekend interspersed with celebrations for my mother’s 70th birthday.

It’s a big ask, but a fun one.

Report on your DA experiences here.

Update: A tough one I thought:
