I've had four wins and two runners-up prizes - but over a very long period of time!

New to me too Cheshirecrone . I've googled and it seems to be an online forum called Fifteensquared. Not sure how it differs to here.

Hi Cheshirecrone and Blackcat,

Yes, 225 is shorthand for the site fifteensquared.net. It differs to here in that it publishes daily blogs (clue by clue analysis) of all Guardian, FT, Independent, Observer puzzles and a few others. For prize puzzles the blogs are only published after the closing date for the competition has passed.

Two other sites to note… blogs for Times puzzles are covered on TimesfortheTimes and for Daily Telegraph puzzles on BigDave.

Hope that helps.

Another thank you from me, Jono. Like Blackcat, I Googled "225 crossword blog" but in the early hours of the morning, I failed to spot that 15 is the square root of 225.
