Times 29560 – when Tricky Thursday fits right in
Time taken: 9:40. That’s usually enough for me to declare Tricky Thursday, but I was over 10 minutes on both Tuesday and Wednesday, so I don’t think this is the trickiest of the week.
Times Cryptic 29559 – Rebellious music, but not heavy metal.
I enjoyed this puzzle with its smooth surfaces; concise wordplay and a couple of lovely clues.
Quick Cryptic 3318 by Izetti
An enjoyable puzzle, definitely at the easier end of Izetti’s range.
Quick Cryptic 3317 by Dangle
An enjoyable mix of the not so difficult with a few that needed teasing out.
Times Cryptic 29558
Very enjoyable
Times 29557 – Gylding the Lyly
What a simply charming start to, not only the week, but also the month!
Quick Cryptic 3316 by Pipsqueak
A rare 6 minute solve for me. How did you all do?
Monthly Club Special No 298 – May 2026
Another monthly treat of an entertaining collection of curious word and adventurous clueing to tickle the braincells.
Mephisto 3430 – Thanks and a hat tip to Harold Bloom
This Robert Teuton was not terribly difficult to solve, but I had a few difficulties with the parsing. Our setter does like to remove parts of words, and has thrown in several &lit clues as well.
