Times for The Times – Times and comments on The Times crossword from a team of solvers

Quick Cryptic 3305 by Shay

Just about the right degree of difficulty for me.

I was stuck for too long on some in the NE segment.

I thought this was a fine Monday offering, with a nice mix of clues and accessible vocab

Nice puzzle from the Squire

En garde ! There are plenty of sneaky definitions here, some sharp moves to keep you on your toes…

A fine fine puzzle from Teazel this morning, for me a quintessential QC.

Largely straightforward but with a few NHOs and tricker clues.

A mostly middle-of-the-road Jumbo but with a sting in the tail.

There were a striking number of two word answers here. I counted nine.
