I use both Unch and MC (but don't subscribe to MC) One difference IMHO is the quality of the clues. MC clues are of 'variable' quality, often anagrams Unch has 'crafted' grids, of a very high quality It's saying sliced bread is the same as sourdough, or an instant coffee is as good as espresso

I finally did last year's taxes for @unchcrosswords.com at the weekend.

Now that's done I've written a blog post explaining where the money all goes - including the proud announcement that we have Β£1000 ready to donate to charity!

Thanks all ❀️
