They have daily regular crosswords; variety & math puzzles Friday, Saturday.
Cryptics are not always tagged as such.

Thanks, syzygy.. That was a real workout for a Saturday morning, but great fun all the way through!

Nice again, thanks syzygy.

Thanks, Syzygy. (Almost) finished, and I know the final words, but...I only have 14 missing letters.
The one I can't find is an A, and it must be in the early across clues. I already have one A from 11a.

Mattrom, there's another 'a' shortly after the one you have.

Aargh! Thanks, Malone. I thought that one fitted in full, as I had mis-written one of the down clues.

Glad I could help, Mattrom. I really enjoyed this puzzle, but was slightly disappointment that it wasn't strictly necessary to follow the actual instructions for putting in the 15 letters. A bit of scrambling showed what was required!

Ingenious. Thanks, syzzie. My favorite:

41A: In the sack, not so holy (7)
